I believe I've got my memory management correct and that my retain counts are good.

  DO. NOT. RELY. ON. RETAIN. COUNT.

I say that so boldly so there is no chance of being unclear. If you're blindly basing "correct memory management" on retain count, you do not yet understand the memory management mechanism. An object instance's retain count is, frankly, none of your business. That's between the instance and the system.

Anyone have an idea?


  Yes, a bright one. Read this thoroughly:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/Tasks/MemoryManagementRules.html

Does the entire life cycle of your problem instance follow these rules? If your answer is no, there's your problem. If your answer is yes, I call bull****. ;-)
