this is not a nil pointer but an uninitialized variable.

Try: NSString *mystring = nil; 	       // nil pointer

Nevertheless it could be the reason why "loserist" sees his exception, although it looks more like

int *pointer = NULL;
int y = *pointer;

But it happens inside the objc_msgSend() library function.
This more looks like a corrupt object class record.
E.g. corrupted selector name table sothat movl (%r10) fails.
