What does this mean:

Mok.app has exited due to signal 6 (SIGABRT)

I've had signals before - 9 and 10, i think, bad cast and null pointer. but 6 means nothing to me.

All words are lies. Including these ones.

I think i tracked it down (i need more practise at projects this big). It was something to do with calling a class method on the wrong class, i think.

Remind me to write something simple next time, k?

Good advice. You'll have to remind me of that.

Is there any guide, anywhere, to what these "signals" mean? are they ANSI C, or what?

Oh gosh! They're everywhere. Just search for signals (and stick in SIGSEGV or something so you get UNIX signals) on Google (or check out your friendly man pages [ man signal ]).
