My main thread creates a few other objects which have NSThreads and/or

at this point.

In my obj alloc I set objCount++ and in the dealloc I set objCount--

Is there a better way around this?

Without delaying the termination for the OS to clean up (guessing some
autorelease pool), some of my objects are never dealloc'd and the app simply
goes away with no error.

Thoughts?

My primary thought is that dealloc is not the place to perform required termination-time tasks, because there's no guarantee it'll be called. Deallocation is where you let go of subsidiary allocations. If you've got objects that need to do things at termination, register them as observers of NSApplicationWillTerminateNotification.
