The docs say autoreleased as he already said which may not always be true.

I quote: "For objects that never get released, this method should return
UINT_MAX". So where do you see your bug ?

Cocoa Fundamentals Guide states:
Class Factory Methods
"Class factory methods are implemented by a class as a convenience for
clients. They combine allocation and initialization in one step and
return the created object autoreleased. These methods are of the form
+ (type)className... (where className excludes any prefix)."
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaFundamentals/CocoaObjects/chapter_3_section_6.html>
It should probably not explicitly state "autoreleased" — it should
simply state that — in accordance with standard memory management
rules, in a reference counted environment — the receiver does not own
the returned object.
