Quoted from Apple's documentation of -convertRect:toView:

  aView
  The view that is the target of the conversion operation. If aView  
is nil, this method instead converts from window base coordinates.  
Otherwise, both aView and the receiver must belong to the same  
NSWindow object.

The last sentence should explain the assertion. So if this assertion  
crashed your program, it looks like there is a bug in your program.  
BTW, are you sure that NSRunAlertPanel did cause the problem? I would  
expect that the alert panel was shown by the gui's handler for  
uncaught exceptions.
