Ah! Cool. Well, not-cool, but at least it makes sense.
After a bunch of mucking about, the problem finally went away. I modified my test case a lot, and it seems to work... thanks for your help. I think the problem can be traced to the testing framework I'm using(Sen:Te OCUnit), but I'm not certain. Now weird things with NSStrings vanishing and EXC_BAD_ACCESSes only show up while debugging, but when running normally it all seems to go alright. OCUnit seems to really dislike GDB...

Thanks for your help, Dr. Neuburg. ^_^

I'm just not sure where it could happen... I'm invoking the method like
this:

OSBlock * block = [OSBlock blockWithString:@"[self workEffectively];
return [NSData class];" nouns:self, [NSData class]];

So I don't see how anything could happen to the string constant I feed.

I didn't say it was *that* string. I said it was *a* string. When there's a retain error and a string vanishes, string pointers can shift down and start pointing at the wrong thing. Sometimes it's another string. Sometimes it's garbage. m.
