I had the exact same experience with a bug in the 64bit version of  
NSSpeechSynthesizer. I was also assuming that XCode defaults to 64-bit  
on 64-bit machines. Luckily Matthew Emerson suggested that I double  
check, and it became clear that it was a bug in the 64-bit AppKit, not  
CCL.

Same here - I've been using the IDE pretty heavily for 6 months and  
find it generally stable.
