By my reckoning, stringWithFormat should create a string with a
retain count of 1.
Why do you say that? Before you answer, refer to the memory
management
policies here:

Well, after I wrote the message, I added a line:
long retainCount = [outputString retainCount];
after the call to stringWithFormat and saw that it had a retain
count of 1 - this would seem to settle the issue that I am correct
on this point at least.
However, thanks for the pointer to the site, I will take a close
look at it.
True, it has a retain count of 1--if it had a retain count less than
1 it would have already been deallocated. stringWithFormat
autoreleases the string, so it can be released when the autorelease
pool is flushed. But, you've already released it by then (causing it
already to be deallocated); and the deallocated object being released
causes the crash.
