I am trying to create a simple Cocoa app that has an intentional memory leak so that I can play with the development tools Instruments, MallocDebug and leaks to learn how to detect memory leaks.  I have a Cocoa console application that has code that I was sure would leak - [NSNumber alloc] with no corresponding release.   But when I run those tools I detect no leak.

I would appreciate suggestions on code or examples on how to purposely create a memory leak and on how to properly use these tools to detect them.  I have read the documentation and believe I am following instructions but I must have missed something.
