I have confirmed that CFZombieLevel at least works as expected with
CFStrings.  Consider:

	CFStringRef		str = CFStringCreateWithFormat(0,0,CFSTR("hello"));
	CFShow(str);
	CFRelease(str);
	CFShow(str);

This prints "hello" twice for me, but crashes with CFZombieLevel=65553.

So many types are toll-free bridged, it sucks that neither NS or CF
zombie works with them. :(
