Spot on, Steven. My memory management was faulty. My object had been 
instantiating another object via alloc that it kept a reference to in an iVar, 
and my (outer) object released that instantiated (inner) object in its -dealloc 
method. I refactored the code, and changed the way I acquire the (inner) object 
to use a class factory method, which returned an autoreleased instance. Of 
course, with this change, the reference to the (inner) object should no longer 
be held by an iVar, and so I have now changed that as well.
