That's similar to what I have used. Initially it started out simply as

        id      keepAlive=self;
        ...
        keepAlive=nil;

but a few Xcode versions ago the static analyzer started complaining that it 
wasn't really doing anything. So that last line became

        if(keepAlive) { keepAlive=nil; }

which shut up the analyzer. [keepAlive self]; like Andy suggests would probably 
work just as well, though probably a tad more expensive as a method call is 
involved.
