Obscure crash when using modal windows

I am encountering a really frustrating bug that occurs only on certain conditions:

- OSX (no problem on Windows) - I am using 10.7 with XCode 4.63 and the latest JUCE tip.

- application compiled in Release mode with link time optimizations enabled => PITA to debug

- application is executed as 64bit (if I tick the 32bit flag in the executables properties, everything works fine).

So whenever I run the app under those conditions and open a modal window (I know evil, but I want the native FileChooser) my application crashes.

This is the report:

It looks like there is something really weird going on. However, the JUCE demo app does work, which makes me totally angry, since I am doing nothing else than opening the file chooser.

Has anybody a clue what this could be?

Looks to me like something's screwed up in your program's linkage - maybe linking mis-matched headers/cpps or some other weird mix-up.

Weird, I was using a slightly older version of Introjucer (a few weeks old) and updating this solved it (the modules were from the tip as you adviced for any bug report, but I am a little bit lazy recompiling the Introjucer everytime i update the modules).

Still don't know what caused this (and why the Demo worked with the old Introjucer), but anyway, thanks for the hint - and from now on I will take the popup window more seriously that pop ups every time I loaded the Introjucer :)
