Has anyone ever had this happen?
Actually, it happens often enough that there's a term for it: It's
called a Heisenbug. See
<
http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/H/heisenbug.html>.
As the referenced page points out, in C (including Objective-C), nine
out of ten Heisenbugs are caused by uninitialized variables and/or
stray pointers. In Objective-C, nine out of ten stray pointer bugs are
caused by over-released objects.
