FYI
On second thoughts,
I guess it is not that strange behavior of NSBundle to not want to release, since you also cannot unload code that is loaded with a bundle. (And using bundles as a document format is not exactly what it's build for, I presume).
But what are my alternatives?
Well, NOT use a NSBundle, I decided.
I figured out in the end I only used its -objectForInfoDictionaryKey to get to its Info.plist. So I now I am just loading the xml Info.plist from file and putting its contents in a NSDictionary. Job done.

Hi all,
I am witnessing a strange behavior with the (not) release of NSBundle. It seems it doesn't want to be released, period. No matter how many -release(s) you send it.
I am using
setBundle:[NSBundle bundleWithPath:bundlePath]];
and the accessor method
- (void)setBundle:(NSBundle *)aBundle
{
[aBundle retain];
[bundle release];
bundle = aBundle;
}
But the [self setBundle:nil]; from my -dealloc doesn't actually release it.
I am using this NSBundle as my document base type (meaning my NSDocument-subclass owns a MyOwnBundle instance -from which the code above stems- which owns a NSBundle). But everytime I open / close / open / cl... the same document, I am seeing the first state of that document, regardless of whether I changed it behind the applications back. I am NSLogging the bundle's -retaincount and every time I set the bundle using the above +bundleWithPath method, and using the same bundlePath, I see my retain count explode: 8, 32, 128, 384, 640, 896, 1152. This can't be right.
in this old thread http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2001/11/24/43545 Ondra Cada says "rather, unless you really need to do that, don't retain the result of bundleWithPath"
Well, I guess I am. But what are my alternatives?
Are there other things I should do to get the bundle? Or are there alternatives to releasing it?
Thanks,
