NSString's "mutableCopy" creating a leak?
NSString's "mutableCopy" creating a leak?

I'm writing a program that, in one table view, has the following code:
id receivedName = [theDatabase itemAtIndex:editedRow] ;
editedRowName = [receivedName mutableCopy] ;
[receivedName release];
where "editedRowName" is defined as an NSMutableString.
[theDatabase itemAtIndex:editedRow]
Asks my database to return item "editedRow." The object at that index
is an NSString. For this function, the database would return
[theStringHere retain]
My code needs a mutable version of this string, so I make a
mutableCopy of it and release the old one, as to prevent a memory leak.
However, when I do a "Run with performance tool: Leaks", it tells me
that, ever time this part of the code runs, it leaks a
"GeneralBlock-32" with the following information:
Category: CFString (store)
Event Type: Malloc
Responsible Library: Foundation
Responsible Caller: -[NSCFString mutableCopyWithZone:]
Does anybody know where this leak is coming from?
This is an Objective-C/Cocoa based application, compiling for the
iPhone Simulator with the i386 architecture.
(Before anybody yells at me saying that the iPhone SDK cannot be
discussed here, read this: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/ )
