Bill, This reminds me.... Do you know if one can safely call IOObjectRelease() in finalize? The docs do not say if that function is thread-safe. <rdar://problem/6307385>. I have a real life situation where IOObjectRelease() is called in dealloc, but in GC I'm erring on the side of caution and leaking.
