I am forced to use pre-10.2 because this nib is full of custom classes that break if post-10.2 is used (we've discussed this, remember? :) Just kidding, no reason why you should.).

Incidentally, this particular nib is really chock-a-block with these custom classes. The table is a subclass of NSTableView, the table columns are subclasses of NSTableColumn... Dunno if that makes a difference.

That makes no difference whatever.

Also, in my table dataSource I check to see if my data structure is nil, and return 0 if it is. So my dataSource is not what is supplying these values; Cocoa is doing it, before the dataSource has supplied any values at all.
