Oddly, the object returned is non-nil.
I should mention that the pointer being returned is a hack global
declared at the top of the file like this:
static Registry *gReg = nil;
but that shouldn't matter.
Post your code for alloc and -init.
Your question can only be answered by seeing the actual code.
Without actual code, everyone is just guessing.
And I've checked that that global is never set to nil or created
twice anywhere else in the code.
If your intention is to always return a singleton Registry, you need
to follow the pattern for "Creating a Singleton Instance" in the
Cocoa-Fundamentals docs.

If it is not your intention to always return a singleton Registry,
then returning "a hack global" is probably doing it wrong.
