More clarification, since from your confusion it sounds like you might not know what this means: "NSZombie mode" means that whenever an object's retain count drops to zero, instead of freeing the memory held by that object, the system will instead swap in an NSZombie object in its place. The effect of this is that instead of getting a crash when you over-release or send messages to dead objects, you get a nice little warning in the console. If you run your app in Instruments with the ObjectAlloc tool, you can go backwards in your app's allocation history to find out just what object it is that's getting over-released.
