Douglas,

I presume you have seen this in real code, not just this sample? i.e Perhaps doing Drag Manager stuff outside of an eventLoop is bad.

Perhaps the string is an autoreleased NSString that won't release since there is no autorelease pool.

Does it still leak if you wrap an autorelease pool around your call to DoLeaktest.

Does it leak once per call to GetFlavorType, or just one object for the lifetime of your app. I.e are you sure it isn't a cached string in the drag manager

FYI - I find that ObjectAlloc is much better tool for CF/NS leak detection than MallocDebug.
