NSUndoManager is in invalid state

Question

Working through the book Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X (third edition) from Aaron Hillegass I am now at Chapter 9, at the end of section Adding Undo to RaiseMan. Hillegass tells you to add two methods to your class MyDocument and then build the app to see that undo/redo is added and working.

But, it isn't working (why else would I be here?). It says:

2012-11-27 19:55:16.231 RaiseMan[293:a0f] HIToolbox: ignoring exception 'undo: NSUndoManager 0x100188a30 is in invalid state, undo was called with too many nested undo groups' that raised inside Carbon event dispatch

)

in the console when I click undo or press cmd+z.

I found solutions for this online, but they are all about 'UndoGroups' or something similar.
I know that the exception is about nested undo groups, but I don't use them (AFAIK), I don't even know what they are.

I don't know what else information I should give, so please ask in the comments for code fragments etc.

For future readers:

Hillegass tells you to add 2 methods: -insertObject:inEmployeesAtIndex: and -removeObjectFromEmployeesAtIndex:. In the second method you have to do:

NSUndoManager *undo = [self undoManager];
[[undo prepareWithInvocationTarget:self] insertObject:p inEmployeesAtIndex:index];

But I did:

NSUndoManager *undo = [self undoManager];
[[undo prepareWithInvocationTarget:self] insertObject:p atIndex:index]; //atIndex: instead of inEmployeesAtIndex:
