ios - NSDateFormatter crashes when used from different threads

We keep getting a random, weird crash with NSDateFormatter. The relevant stack trace is:

Program received signal:  “EXC_BAD_ACCESS”.
#0  0x00000005 in ?? ()
#1  0x0213e3c3 in udat_parse ()
#2  0x01d4e1ca in CFDateFormatterGetAbsoluteTimeFromString ()
#3  0x01d4e225 in CFDateFormatterCreateDateFromString ()
#4  0x003e2608 in getObjectValue ()
#5  0x003e2921 in -[NSDateFormatter getObjectValue:forString:errorDescription:] ()
#6  0x003e21cd in -[NSDateFormatter dateFromString:] ()

The date formatter is still in memory (i.e. not released or corrupted). The only thing I can think of is the strings upon crash do not conform to the format, but i doubt that will make the formatter completely crash. (it is non trivial to check the format beforehand).

Any thoughts?

Thanks to the previous answerers.

This was not a memory problem. It turned out to be a synchronization issue. NSDateFormatters are not thread safe; there was a background thread attempting to use the same formatter at the same time (hence the randomness).

Hope this helps someone in the future!
