Being an autoreleased NSData probably has something to do with it but I would have thought that PtrToHand did something internally to prevent the deletion of the data it points to...

Nope. I'm pretty sure that, as part of the old Memory Manager, PtrToHand doesn't do anything to retain data passed to it - it assumes that the underlying data was allocated with NewPointer or something similar. If the data was actually created as an NSData instance and hasn't been retained, it will get deallocated and (eventually) overwritten! _______________________________________________
