The funny thing about my Worker class is that it's a singleton,
implementing the following method:

- (unsigned)retainCount

Are there other ways objects can get released if not by retainCount?

The implementation of NSObject's -retain, -release, and -retainCount are private. However, I've always thought that -retainCount was a means for outsiders to query what's going on -- it does not _control_ what happens, it just _reveals_ something about what happens. That's my guess, anyway.

So, I would not expect that overriding -retainCount would be a means to "neutralize" -release. And, from what you're seeing, indeed it is not.
