can you take a look at the attached crash.dmp file? My knowledge about the internals is limited so I'm not a good candidate to get a feeling what could have been gone wrong. 

If I would have to guess I would think there is a dead lock in ExternalSemaphoreTable. It looks to me as if the outgoing network connect tries to register an external object at the same time the snapshot:andQuit: tries to clear the external objects. But I know nothing how this works.
