Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)

Question

Hi There,
My Quake 3 application has been crashing on quiting the program lately
I notice that if the Quake name is still in the left hand corner after the game is over, (I just had quit it normally) then I know I'm about to see the Apple crash report screen.
I think it is a fairly recent event.
here is the rest of the crsh text, sorry it's a bit long.
Thanks for any help.
Eric
PS Also, is it bad to keep using this application, if it keeps doing this?

Answer 1

I wrote "dynamiclibrarydaemon" as meaning of 'dyld' in my previous message but it should go "the dynamic loader" as defined by Apple. Having a quick study about inside Mac OS X 10.4 APIs, I came to understand a bit more.
You wrote that Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001) occurs if the Quake 3 name is still in the left hand corner after the game is over.
I believe Quake 3 at runtime need to take advantages of functionality from a system source called dyld (the dynamic loader-- an Application Binary Interface) in Mach-O layer (part of Mac OS X kernel). A code something like 'stEbnfcFlexar' in Quake 3 application seems retaining a bug to handle with dyld functionality. Presumably, Quake 3 does not follow "Dynamic Loader Compatibility Functions" sufficiently. Otherwise, the cause is a conflict with some other application.
Here are the major events:
Thread 0: This is the cause of the crash, which is stEbnfcFlexar.
Thread 2: A 'removeImage' function is called when a component for 3D image handling (ImageLoader) in Quake 3 executes the code in thread 1 to do a termination. This execution is derived by cross-referencing register address (at 0x8fe080a0-- Thread 3) in the microprocessor called the program counter.
Thread 3: NSUnLinkModule... Unlinks the given module from Quake 3
Now, you need to narrow down by verifying the reproducibility testing on Mac OS X + Quake 3, but no other third-party applications. You may also want to disconnect all third-party hardware as well-- because some devices require kernel extensions to be installed for some functionality in inter-processing with Mac OS X system sources.
There MIGHT be a little possibility of a security threat if the issue would lead up to a critical buffer overflow. An issue was found on a Linux platform in May 2006. The dynl Application Programming Interface for Mac OS X last updated in November 2005. Quake 3 released in Feb 2006(?). I am not a software engineer, but I think a few months interval is not good enough.
I hope you have troubleshooted with caches, plists and permissions at the first place. When Mac OS X 10.4.9 is updated, incorrect files/directories permissions may occur.

Hope this helps.
