Thanks for that incredibly helpful suggestion.

I know how to run instruments. Show me the documentation that tells me how to 
actually do something with Allocations. If you look at my previous email on the 
subject, you can see that I ran Allocations way back when it was suggested, and 
found NO allocations of NSFileHandle.

I did a fair bit of work on this already. I don't have time do all of Apple's 
job for them. I've provided them with the code necessary to reproduce the 
problem, they're the ones that will have to fix it.

Then they will waste my time and theirs while I give them a similar explanation.
