You're most likely dealing with an already-released object that was expected to be alive still. Setting NSZombieEnabled to YES in your executable's environment variables will tell you what the problem object is, if that's the case. Or, run your application with the Object Allocations instrument in the Instruments profiling application, with zombie detection enabled. You can get a history of the pointer, which will tell you much more.
