Yikes, that's not good. I'd try running with NSZombieEnable = YES to see if that turns up anything. That should also set NSDeallocateZombies = NO, which might make gdb po work.

You can copy-and-paste to find out what the surprising observers are, as in:

(gdb) po 0x19e5a0

I have a Cocoa document app that uses bindings. After installing 10.5 and Xcode 3.0, I started seeing console output stating that objects were being deallocated while observers are still registered with them. After some investigation, I found that the objects being deallocated had an extra observer that I never registered (see the final observance instance listed in the - observationInfo output below:

(gdb) po [theItem observationInfo]
<NSKeyValueObservationInfo 0x1e3880> (
<NSKeyValueObservance 0x19e5a0: Observer: 0x18ea60, Key path: name, Options: <New: NO, Old: YES, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x19e5c0> <NSKeyValueObservance 0x1a3ca0: Observer: 0x18ea60, Key path: category, Options: <New: NO, Old: YES, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x1a3c80> <NSKeyValueObservance 0x1ce8b0: Observer: 0x18ea60, Key path: grade, Options: <New: YES, Old: YES, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x192920> <NSKeyValueObservance 0x1ceb50: Observer: 0x18ea60, Key path: isDropped, Options: <New: NO, Old: YES, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x1a3cd0> <NSKeyValueObservance 0x192340: Observer: 0x193060, Key path: grade, Options: <New: NO, Old: YES, Prior: NO> Context: 0x0, Property: 0x192920> <NSKeyValueObservance 0x65046c0: Observer: 0x6503f00, Key path: grade, Options: <New: NO, Old: NO, Prior: NO> Context: 0x18ea60, Property: 0x192920>
)

I have no idea what sort of object 0x6503f00 is or how/when it was registered. Looking at the address in memory did not give me any clues. The one interesting bit of info is that the address listed with its Context is the same as the first 4 observers.

Continuing on predictably leads to the console output:

2008-04-12 16:18:20.760 MyApp[329:813] An instance 0x1c3d40 of class Assignment is being deallocated while key value observers are still registered with it. Observation info is being leaked, and may even become mistakenly attached to some other object. Set a breakpoint on NSKVODeallocateBreak to stop here in the debugger. Here's the current observation info:
<NSKeyValueObservationInfo 0x1b3970> (
<NSKeyValueObservance 0x6503f20: Observer: 0x6503f00, Key path: grade, Options: <New: NO, Old: NO, Prior: NO> Context: 0x1c3ce0, Property: 0x192920>
)


When I debug this app with Xcode 2.4 on 10.4.x, there are no extra observers and everything works well.

I did not see anything addressing this issue in the foundation release notes. Nor have I found any discussion of this problem in the archives. Am I missing something? Do I need to file a bug? Any help would be appreciated.
