I assume [NSBezierPath bezierpath] issues an autorelease before it returns the object. Which means that when you autorelease it (again) you've just decremented the reference count one to many times. When you use the alloc/init methods for creating your Bezier Path object there is no autorelease issued, and the one that you explicitly issue is the only one -- thus your reference count is correct.

I'am using the NSBezierPath class quite extensively these days, and something weird happened:

if I do something like :

bp = [NSBezierPath bezierpath];
( insert lineToPoint, curveToPoint here)

in a NSView subclass' -initWithFrame (bp being an instance variable in my NSView) and

[bp fill]

in the drawInRect of the same view, everything works fine.

However, when I decide that I should initialize my NSBezierPaths elsewhere, my app dies with a SIGBUS. That's what I don't understand because I issued a [bezierpath autorelease] before returning each new instance.
After a bunch of debugging, I see that the initWithFrame works well (bp is here and I can use it), but any [bp fill] issued within the drawInRect leads to the SIGBUS.

Now, when I replace the [NSBezierPath bezierPath] with a [[NSBezierPath alloc] init] in my new function, everything is ok.

What do I miss here ? What does this [NSBezierPath bezierPath] selector actually do ? I can't see any info in the cocoa docs.
