Why are you storing a non-autoreleased object to a pointer and then writing 
over it later?

Here you're overwriting a pointer to an object you own with an autoreleased 
object.

Here you're leaking the autorelease pool you created above.

Here you're placing a new object in the autorelease pool, and then leaking the 
autorelease pool.

Here you're autoreleasing a pointer that may or may not have been autoreleased 
already.

I suggest you re-read the memory management rules again and pay attention to 
the rules regarding release and autorelease. If anyone tries to re-state it 
here, we're inevitably going to get something wrong.  
<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/MemoryMgmt/MemoryMgmt.html>

Also, I cannot recommend writing an object to a pointer that the program is 
never going to read. If you're concerned about accidentally accessing an 
uninitialized pointer, then just set it to nil instead.
