This is your real problem. theDirectory is given to you as an
autoreleased
object. You autorelease it again, which is a no-no.
I've only got a few minutes here. I would like to respond to some of
the other suggestions you made (which I appreciate you having taken the
time to explain) when I get some more time later.
I did just gave this a shot and it worked. Thanks.
On a side note, I wonder (without trying to sound too much like a
exasperated Cocoa newbie) if this issue is documented anywhere on
Apple's site. I've read quite a bit at Apple's site and elsewhere about
memory management in Cocoa (i.e., retain, release, autorelease, etc.)
and not once have I run across any warnings or explanations about the
problem with performing an extra autorelease on an object. I guess it's
entirely possible that it should be obvious to me, but having spent
nearly an hour trying to remedy something that, as far as I know, isn't
explained anywhere in Apple's documentation, it really grates on my
nerves a bit.
