The routine CGLayerGetContext is a "Get" routine. You are not responsible for releasing something that comes from a "Get" method (only "Copy" or "Create").

Remove the call to CGContextRelease.

That's a good point, but I'll then submit that the documentation is misleading. From the description of CGLayerGetContext() at http://developer.apple.com/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/ CGLayer/cglayer_reference/chapter_1.2_section_5.html

function result
The graphics context associated with the layer. You are responsible for releasing this object when you no longer need it.

To me this implies I should release the context.
