Actually, on further thought, this can’t be true, can it? Plenty of methods built right into the frameworks create objects on the fly — call valueForKey: to retrieve a property that’s declared as an NSInteger, and you’ll get an NSNumber object that was created to wrap it. Send valueForKey: to an array, and you get a newly-created array containing the results of getting that property from each object in the array. Both of these times, you’re not going to have the same pointer on subsequent calls, and these work fine, so pointer discrepancies can’t be the cause of his problem.
