iOS ECSlidingViewController delegate EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Question

I have a ECSSlidingViewController with a menu in the underLeftViewController that has a few different buttons that lead to different segues to display different UIViewControllers in the ECSSlidingViewController.topViewController. All the buttons on the menu work well and segue to the appropriate view controller.

However, I would like to be able to perform one of the segues from another UIViewController other than the ECSSlidingViewController.underLeftViewController and whenever I try to do this I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS(1) error. In my logs the following information shows up.

Warning: Attempt to dismiss from view controller : 0xc061250> while a presentation or dismiss is in progress!

return frame;
