Hi Adam,

Well.. for some reasons, in NSTableView: -drawRect: we have:

  if (startingRow == -1)
    {
      startingRow = 0;
    }
  if (endingRow == -1)
    {
      endingRow = _numberOfRows - 1;
    }

starting row is always equal to -2^31 and this loops (if checks are 
made in the delegate to not obtain rows out of bounds) nearly 
endlessly.

I've changed those to < 0 instead of == -1. It works but the 
NSTableView displays no rows.

Look at the latest screenshot:

Everything works.. even SSL and all bundles! It's just the NSTableView 
that gives me issues and I've investigated just a little bit so far 
but you might have ideas on the problem.
