I see your point now. Thanks. Putting in the pool enabled the
application to complete parsing of the raw data. Unfortunately, the
program now stops several minutes into the sorting operation (the
large table has to be sorted). I'll look for a spot to place an
autorelease pool, though I don't believe there is an obvious internal
loop in this case.
Incidentally, I tried running ObjectAlloc and noticed that there was
one general block that kept growing (no doubt, the table as records
were being added). Is there a way to figure out exactly which
specific points of code the various blocks refer to. (Sorry if that
is a newbie question. Performance tools are totally new territory for
me.)

Just because you never autorelease it in your code, doesn't mean
that it is never autoreleased. The system could be doing all sorts
of things that you don't know about. You should still wrap your
loop in an autorelease pool.
As for Instruments, unfortunately I'm doing this on Tiger.
ObjectAlloc is the Tiger equivalent.
