I don't think this is at all clear. You have only a single weak
reference to the data returned by UTF8String, so it's not at all
surprising when it gets lost. This is pretty much akin to what happens
if you fail to send a retain to an autoreleased object, but you're not
complaining that pre-Leopard memory management is broken.
