Can you post some code?  A gdb backtrace would also be nice.  It's a
litle difficult to guess what your program might be doing.  Firstly
which "old version" of Swarm were you using?  And your "other"
programs work fine with Swarm 2.1.1?  I take it your apps are in
Objective C and not Java.

OK, but you should Cc all your replies to swarm-support, so we can
have a record.  Be warned that you might miss some replies because the
mailing list automatically sets up the "Reply-to" field to send to
swarm-support, and some folks don't necessarily manually add you to
the Cc list.

Just for laughs, try deleting (or moving to the side) your
~/.swarmArchiver file, I'm guessing you may be using an old version of
the archiver with a formatting change.
