sorry to reply to myself (again) but i forgot some stuff/found some
better documentation,

from the documentation of the controlView method here

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/802-2112/6i63mn60o?l=ja&a=view#01.Classes-8

"For example, the subclasses of NSActionCell defined by the
Application Kit invoke this method in order to
send the NSControl a message such as updateCellInside:."

so that to conflict with the idea setStringValue: is doing something
wrong by calling the -updateCell method (ignoring the inside part
since either would lead to the segfault)...

another idea is that drawWithFrame:inView: could reset the
_control_view on exit but that seems counter to the documentation that
-controlView returns the view in which the cell was last drawn...
