title: Core Data + 'statement is still active'
body: <p>I'm having a real bad time with this core data error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason:     'statement is still active'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My app and code all works fine except occasionally when calling requests very quickly. It happens when I'm trying to break the app.
  Going from one screen to the next, downloading data and executing fetch requests.</p>
  
  <p>I know it has something to do with threading and core data.</p>
  
  <p>I'm calling this piece of code from a background thread, with it's own managed object context.</p>

  <p>I understand it's probably hard to tell from just this, but can anyone tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, with these requests, that is immediately obvious.  </p>
