It shouldn't (can't) crash if cachedDir is NULL. But are you quite
sure that cachedDir is NULL? I had similar problems in the past, and
sometimes the "this" pointer was NULL, so the crash would happen on
the assignment to m_mostRecentStatus. And at some other times
cachedDir was "nearly" NULL, which can happen when you take the
address of a structure member through a NULL pointer. (like cachedDir
= &pointerToNull->some_member)

Just some additional items to look for...
