Omitting a great deal of intervening code for brevity, my program is doing this:

NSMutableData * sourceData = [NSMutableData dataWithCapacity: [theAnnotatedData length]];
// append some bytes to sourceData
NSData * destinationData = [NSData dataWithData:aData];
[sourceData release];


destinationData is actually a member of another class, and the NSData dataWithData: line in in that class.

The program crashes with EXC_BAD_ACCESS in NSPopAutoreleasePool/ objc_msgSend_rtp if I release sourceData. If I comment out the last line, no crash.

There is plenty of other stuff I could be doing wrong (e.g., being a hopeless noob), but as a sanity check, am I supposed to be retaining something or not using NSData dataWithData: from an instance of NSMutableData?

Since you are using dataWithData and dataWithCapacity you are creating temporary objects and shouldn't release them. If you were using [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithCapacity:... then you need to release it.
