If you use the Object Allocations template (with retain tracking
enabled) in Instruments then yes you can track down those type of
issues easily ... far more easily then trying to probe retainCount in
code yourself. I likely have use Instruments to track down every
conceivable problem that may make you want to look at retainCount...
you don't have to modify any code either.
