You leak becayse you never free the bytes that you malloc. dataWithBytes: copies the data into a new NSData object, you are responsible for freeing the malloc-ed bytes, but not the NSData.

If you want to do what you're doing do a dataWithBytesNoCopy:length: and then NSData will clean up for you when it's dealloc'd.

GAH! Not much for writing sample apps, am I?

Well now that my credibility is shot .... I fixed the sample, and it behaves appropriately. Unfortunately I was always freeing the memory in my real app, so I'm doing something else wrong. I changed to the "NoCopy" version, and no change in memory appearance, so back to reading the code.

Thanks,
