Why would a built app just die like this?  It runs completely fine in the
IDE, and I'm not getting any exceptions of any type there.  My log files
show all the classes instantiating correctly, the methods being called
correctly etc.  Yet the built application's log file doesn't have a single
entry (outside of the header line that gets written on the file's creation).

Am I alone on these items or are other people experiencing them as well?

   I'm experiencing this very problem, as I posted here a couple of days ago.

What we seem to have in common is that I get a failure on my Preferences dialog, too. I moved the whole Prefs dialog to another project, and in a loop I alternated opening it and another window 100 times - no failure. I'm still trying to narrow this down.

By any chance, does your app use the OS X Preferences menu item and AppleEvent to open the prefs dialog? Mine does, but my stress test did not. I'm going to modify my test and see if it has any bearing on the problem.
