Well that's a leak already... The alloc/init is a waste.

And here you passed an autoreleased object as the context info which means it's
going to be deallocated at the end of the run loop. You should be passing a
retained object to context info...

And grabbing it here, and releasing it somehow to balance the retain.
NSArray * array = [(NSArray *)contextInfo autorelease];

Because that pointer is now pointing at entirely different object. Your array
has already been deallocated and an NSMutableData instance took its place.

Because void * can be a pointer to *anything*. contextInfo is not just limited
to Obj-C objects. You could pass a pointer to an integer if you wanted. (It's
even not out of the question to pass an integer value directly to contextInfo
instead of using a pointer to one.)
