Thanks, Dave. That's what I thought. But I don't understand why I need to
retain it then; it's assigned to a member pointer. Why does it get
released, and when? If I call retain on it, do I have to call release on
it later?
I create another NSDate, on the stack, to hold "now" for use within that
function. Do I need to retain that too? If not, why not?
