I thought that all initializers had to call through the designated initializer, which means that init should be overridden to call
initWithData:.  Am I wrong?

Thanks,
Cem Karan

from the docs:

initWithData:
[]

Discussion
This method is the designated initializer.



This means you *MUST* call this initializer when creating the object, directly or indirectly. I'm guessing that -init isn't
overridden to call this. Maybe you could pass an empty data object?
