Are you able to consistently reproduce this, or did this only happen once?

Quite consistently, but not always. Growl has been crashing a lot since last 
week
(that I have noticed). Was running 1.2 then, running 1.2.1b4 now, but does not 
seem
to have helped.

I have Adium, Thunderbird and HardwareGrowler running all the time. 
Notifications
from Adium would have Traditional and Simplified Chinese characters in them.

Is there a way or debug version of Growl that can log the notifications? That 
should
capture the last notification that crashed Growl... just a hunch!

Update to this issue:

When I receive the notification from Adium, which contains the unicode mirroring
character, Growl crashes:
ןǝbuɐɥdɐɹǝs - http://oneasiamart.com connected

More on unicode mirroring character:

I don't think it's the screen-saver anymore! Just a coincidence.

Indeed, I could reproduce it with a notification with title 
“ןǝbuɐɥdɐɹǝs - http://oneasiamart.com connected”.

Curiously, WebKit displays work fine.

As far as I can tell, this is Apple's bug. I'll file it in RadarWeb later.

If it's apple's bug, nothing we can really do right?

@prhgrowl please check this on 10.7, i believe this has been fixed (no crash 
from smoke or candy bars with "ןǝbuɐɥdɐɹǝs - http://oneasiamart.com 
connected" as input).
