Confused me too.  It might be how I am walking the array that creates a nil 
result, or a mistake in initialization but I ran into it yesterday as well, 
where the last value in the array was crashing Xcode until i did a check for 
nil and if the result was not nil, then process it.

So, that either points to elves, or nil getting assigned to an array entry.

It's got to be a nil value creeping into the annotation list somewhere.  Time 
to add some data validity checking loops.

Thanks Fritz.
