To me it looks like a message sent to a deallocated object. The  
normal thing to do to track down such a problem would be to leverage  
NSZombieEnabled.

Crashing during launching of your application doesn't sound typical  
to a standard zombie though. Do you have a clean (no haxies or input  
managers) and known good system? Have this problem been reported on  
any other machines besides yours? Could it be a random memory smasher  
(typically from you writing some "unsafe" C-code)? Random memory  
smashers are best caught using GuardMalloc:
