The result of -[retainCount] is not necessarily equal to its retain
count from your point of view. It might be retained by something else
that's not immediately obvious. For instance, your outputString will
be released by the autoreleasepool. So yes, the retain count may be
higher than 0, but that still means it's not up to you to do something
about that in this case.
Good luck,
Hank

By my reckoning, stringWithFormat should create a string with a

Why do you say that? Before you answer, refer to the memory
management
policies here:

Well, after I wrote the message, I added a line:
long retainCount = [outputString retainCount];
after the call to stringWithFormat and saw that it had a retain
count of 1 - this would seem to settle the issue that I am correct
on this point at least.
However, thanks for the pointer to the site, I will take a close
look at it.
