Actually, Instruments is no help in figuring out "what is still holding onto it". That's not entirely unreasonable, since in a very real sense *no* object is "holding onto" anything; there are only messages and the object's own internal retain count. But it sure would be nice if Instruments did give more info about this, so that one could try to track down which retains are balanced by which releases (and which retains, therefore, are unbalanced). A mere retain count over time, along with a call stack, just doesn't quite cut it somehow. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = m...@tidbits.com, <http://www.apeth.net/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
