This doesn't make any sense to me. By my reckoning, stringWithFormat should create a string with a retain count of 1. 'fLetterCountField setStringValue' should assign the string to the field and the field should retain the string. I should then be free to release it.

Read the Cocoa memory management rules [1]. "stringWithFormat" doesn't fit the criteria of the fundamental rule, so the object it returns isn't yours to release.
