This is a very unusual place for a crash to occur. The only way this 
could happen is if the default (or current) thread has not been properly 
initialized, which means there is something very wrong with the base 
library.

It's more likely that you failed to clean/recompile a library (base, 
gui, your own) or the application after a large change, such as the 
addition of an ivar.

I tried the same procedure and got a crash also (with the 0.2.7 
sources), but for a different reason which the attach patch partial 
fixes. Unfortuneatly, there is also another problem with a Watcher 
object being released too soon that causes it to crash again soon after. 
I haven't had time to track this down.
