Found the cause! We sent a postNotification: from a subthread to the 
main thread. The object of the notification was probably already 
released when the notification reached the main thread. Just another 
example of (bad) code that runs fine on MacOSX but fails to work under 
GNUstep. If you want to make sure that your code is free of bugs, try 
to run it under GNUstep. It won't work until you fixed the last bit. :-)

Thanks!
