I'm encountering a crash that has a log that looks very similar to this one. However it is only happening on my users' devices (not mine). Any chance you could share the cause/solution for this crash, Pinky? — derekvanvliet, Aug 31 '10 at 16:02

Enable NSZombie - it will tell you which de-allocated object objcMsgSend is trying to call.

See this earlier question.

The following technical note contains all the information needed to deal with such dumps:

Technical Note TN2124 - Mac OS X Debugging Magic

A little hint:

1   CFNetwork                       0x006b4868 URLConnectionClient::_clientDidFinishLoading(URLConnectionClient::ClientConnectionEventQueue*) + 194

Focus on this part, the EXC_BAD_ACCESS suggests a (ab)use of invalid memory pointer.
