I've been bashing my head in with this one for the past half hour, so I thought I'd ask my friends from Stack Overflow for some wisdom.
I've got a tab bar application with a view controller at the root, and passing off the views to other xibs. I created a custom XIB and added its view controller class (MoreViewController) as an External Object in Interface Builder. When I link my methods, I get a SIGABRT error when calling the method with a UIButton:
Method
- (IBAction)showAbout {
alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"About" message:@"yadda yadda yadda some message" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Dismiss" otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
[alert show];
}

Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT Ok, I've enabled NSZombie and... I get a less cryptic error! Woohoo!

I did notice that -[NSAutoreleasePool release] is called before -[UIApplication sendAction:to:from:forEvent:]... could that be my problem? How would I resolve that?
Thanks again for your responses, every one helps.

EDIT 5
I still haven't figured this out... can ANYONE help?
You are getting this because the object you are sending showAbout: to doesn't respond to that selector. Either you are pointing the the wrong target, or your target's pointer is being changed.
It's tough to say without seeing a little more code. If you are creating the button in IB, you probably don't have your outlets hooked up properly.
Edit: Based on your new code, it looks like your MoveViewController object isn't being retained properly. To get info about the instance you specificed, you can turn on MallocStackLoggingNoCompact the same way you turned on NSZombieEnabled. When you get your error, you can use either
malloc_history INSTANCE_ADDRESS
or
info malloc INSTANCE_ADDRESS
This is a great article for this kind of debugging
http://www.friday.com/bbum/2010/01/10/using-malloc-to-debug-memory-misuse-in-cocoa/
I didn't figure out the cause, but the errors were resolved by moving the views into one XIB.
Thanks anyway.
