Well, the line numbers reported don't tie up, so I suspect that you don't
have the latest source (so I'm not sur what changes you are referring 
to).

Assuming the stack traceback is correct, the getBestIconForExtension:
method is calling a method on an object which doesn't know about it.
I can't see how that could happen really.

However ... the getInfoForFile:application:type: method does not call
getBestIconForExtension: either in the latest source or in source I have
lying around from a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps you have some old or corrupt code?
