Dealing with never-alocated bugs

Hi, I recently hit an interesting memory bug that took me about 12 hours of solid work to track down the source of. Zombies had done nothing useful and none of the memory profiling tools found the problem - I eventually had to resort to stripping bits out of the application until it stopped happening.

Anyway long-story-short, the reason that zombies produced nothing was that the object was never allocated, I was sending messages to nil. Is there any better way to approach problems like this that will catch the class of bug I'm talking about?

Bob
