Jonathan thanks for the suggestion. I had in fact already done that. I had created what I thought was a scenario that would bring out the problem. Of course I overlooked the clue provided by memory being allocated ok when the calls to NSAllocateCollectable were being made in the same method. The penny had simply failed to drop.
