Kyle/Nick/Greg,
Thank you guys. Took a little digging but the combination of
NSZombie & instruments object allocation did the job. After years
working with Java I find myself tripping over memory management issues
much too often. I had allocated a UIButton using buttonWithType: and
then later released it without ever having retained it. I'm
concluding (perhaps incorrectly) that using buttonWithType: doesn't
grant 'object ownership' in the same way that alloc does.

If I'm reading this correctly, not a given by any means, Core

possibly a CALayer, where the reference pointer is no longer valid,
but how do I determine what object? I've tried running with the
performance tools, which tells me where objects are allocated, but
I haven't found anything that will help identify THE object that's
causing the problem. I've tried Shark, but it just seems to hang
with "Sampling...". Any and all suggestions welcome.
Try NSZombies first. Guard Malloc catches some errors that NSZombie
does not. You can also dig around in the CPU register data:
