Crashing app when device not connected to Xcode

Question

I've encountered this weird behavior with my iPhone app. It runs fine on the device when being debugged with Xcode, but when it's run on the device when the device is not connected to my computer it crashes almost immediately. Needless to say, I find this a bit disconcerting since I'm not sure how to debug it.

Anyone have ideas on what's going on or how to debug this type of problem?

I looked in the crash report when I reconnect the device and get the following:

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x00000070
Crashed Thread:  6

Thread 6 Crashed:

and the console log has the following:

You can always get to the line of your app where it crash. Open the terminal on the build folder and run this command:

atos -arch armv6 -o myapp.app/myapp 0x000033ba

and it will return the file and line where it was. It's somehow useful.
