I'll offer this up, but I don't see how it could be related to *your*  
problem (which is why I didn't say anything earlier):

The top five lines of your crash log are identical to a mysterious  
crash I was getting a while ago (a month or so) when I ran a certain  
project in the debugger.

This project is very old (born in RB 2.x probably), and has been  
migrated to newer versions of RB. Now in 7r2.

I could make the crash stop by making slight changes to my code;  
adding a breakpoint, renaming classes, etc. in unrelated areas of the  
project.  It was bizarre.

I finally fixed it by exporting all my classes from the project and  
importing them into a fresh new RB project.

I didn't say anything earlier because this only happened to me in the  
debugger on PPC.

My theory is that something got stepped on while upgrading RB over  
the years, and it was cleared up in the fresh new project.

Could my project have been corrupted?  Importing/exporting XML didn't  
help (it's usually the first thing I try).
