I've got an application that I'm maintaining (I inherited it from
someone who no longer works here) that only displays a status item in
the menu. When it quits, I always get a signal 10 (SIGBUS).

I've fixed it, but the fix seems to violate all I know about Cocoa memory management. The documentation says that when I call NSStatusItem's statusItemWithLength: method, I need to retain the item. This is apparently correct, but if I eventually release that item, I will get a crash before the program terminates (but not in the release). Nothing in the documentation mentioned adding the status item to a system autorelease pool, but it looks like that's what happening.
