It sounds like your have a dangling pointer to an deallocated object.

Sometimes sending an message to deallocated (aka zombie) object won't crash the application immediately because the bits of the object are still intact in memory. However after time that memory gets reused by another object, then when you send a message to the deallocated object your application will crash.

so where i can found this,on imageBrowserSelectionDidChange: or any where else.

Assuming your using XCode 4.2, go into the Product menu and choose Profile.

This will launch Instruments. Choose the Zombies profile and click Profile.

Your application should launch. Test is out. If you send a message to a zombie object, Instruments will popup a balloon titled Zombie Messaged. Click the white arrow on the grey circle in that balloon. The table at the bottom of Instruments will give you a history of the object including when it was allocated and released.

my Xcode Version is 3.2.2 ,here is no Product menu to choose Profile.
