NSMenu leak when connected to outlet with interface builder?

It seems that when you connect a new NSMenu (popup menu) to an outlet in interface builder that menu will then be leaked. Using the default document based project I have what I think is a very basic setup. I give MyDocument a popupMenu outlet and I connect the default popup menu with (two items named item1 and item2) to this outlet using interface builder.

// MyDocument has an NSMenu outlet that's connect to a popup menu in interface builder.
@interface MyDocument : NSDocument {
IBOutlet NSMenu *popupMenu;
}
@end

With this setup every-time I create and then close a document I leak a NSMenu and two NSMenuItems. My guess is that this is not the intended behavior, please let me know if I'm missing some concept and this IS intended.

The only way that I can seem to fix the problem is if I send the popup menu releases for it's entire retain count minus 2... like this:

@implementation MyDocument

- (id)init {
if (self = [super init]) {
}
return self;
}

- (void)dealloc {
int count = [popupMenu retainCount] - 2;
while (count--)
[popupMenu release];

[super dealloc];
}

- (NSString *)windowNibName {
return @"MyDocument";
}

@end

Can anyone tell me what's going on here, and what the best way to solve the problem is? Sending those extra releases looks a little dangerous to me especially if this gets fixed in the future, but I'm not sure how else to handle the problem.

Thanks,
Jesse
