Re: Why does this leak memory?

I am initializing image (the NSCell subclass's "image") in the cell init:

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        image = [[NSImage alloc] init];
    }
    return self;
}

In the debugger, I get:

Program loaded.
run
[Switching to process 2683 local thread 0xf03]
Running…
Program received signal:  "EXC_BAD_ACCESS".

Unable to disassemble objc_msgSend_rtp.

And the crash happens as soon as the tableView's mouseDown: event is invoked.
