Uh-oh, category error. UIViewController is an iPhone class, therefore you must be programming on iPhone, right? Which does not have garbage collection. Therefore your assumptions about what is happening are wrong. You MUST learn the memory management rules and have them down pat so you can write correctly managed code without having to really think about it. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
