Why are you looking at the retain count?
The only thing you should typically be interested in is, are you
adhering to the memory management rules?

I am adding undo/redo to my program and want to make sure things
can be released correctly by NSUndoManager some point in the future.
So I assert on retainCount before passing the ownership to
NSUndoManager.
If retainCount isn't working, then I have no means to verify my
resources is being released correctly.
Can anyone confirm that retainCount go nuts?
