I do not trust the Objective-C 2.0 Garbage Collector

Why? Because I crash inside the collector thread. And because it’s young. And because it seems I’m the only one on this planet building an application involving both the GC, CoreAnimation and NSOperationQueue. They’re a perfect fit, but no one has ever crashed where I do, it seems.

For example, let this be the first and only hit on google for CALayerEnsureTransaction: CALayerEnsureTransaction.

Another example. Let this be the first and only hit on google for Auto::Thread::scan_other_thread: Auto::Thread::scan_other_thread.

And it was so.

Yes, I’m frustrated.
