It looks like you're creating new string objects and losing track of the
old secondbuffer. I think all the NSString stringBy*, stringWith*, etc.
return new string objects. So secondbuffer after [ secondbuffer
stringByAppendingString:scratch ] isn't the same object.
Maybe use this in place of the current secondbuffer assignment:
[ secondbuffer appendString:scratch ];

Hello.
I have been working on this bug for a while, and I can't seem to figure
out what the problem is. I am first converting a C-string into NSString
using the following syntax:
NSString * scratch;
NSString * secondbuffer;
char buffer[2];
...
[secondbuffer init];
(in a loop)
[scratch initWithCString: buffer];
secondbuffer = [secondbuffer stringByAppendingString: scratch];
This is probably not the best way of doing it, however, it runs fine,
until I do:
NSTextView * results;
...
[results setString:secondbuffer];
Here it screws up, giving me the following error output:

As far as I can figure it, the secondbuffer string gets released? I have
no idea why. It is declared globally, i.e. outside any classes or
functions.
Please help, I am unsure what to do with this. I have been struggling
two whole days with this...
