Enumeration Mutation During UIView transitionWithView

I'm experience an occasional crash of my iPhone application where I'm getting the following exception

NSGenericException', reason: '*** Collection <CALayerArray: 0x26f6b0> was mutated while being enumerated.

This crash is being triggered after the following code is executed.

StopRouteViewController *stopVC = [[StopRouteViewController alloc] init];   
[UIView transitionWithView:self.navigationController.view
                  duration:0.5
                   options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionFlipFromLeft
                animations:^{
                    [self.navigationController pushViewController:stopVC animated:NO];
                }
                completion:NULL];
[stopVC release];

Does this look blatantly wrong to anyone? My current thought is that is is either tied to stopVC being released before it is pushed or with transitioning with navigationController.view while at the same time pushing a new viewController to the navigationController.

Since this only occurs occasionally, I'd like to have a little more confidence before I commit a potential fix.

Yes, this is incorrect usage of the API. -[UINavigationController pushViewController:animated:] handles animation on its own. Even if you pass NO as the second argument, it is still manipulating the view hierarchy, which is what's causing your crash.

Basically, there is no reason to put a call to -[UINavigationController pushViewController:animated:] in an animation block, as you have done. If you want to animate the push of your controller, pass YES as the second argument.
