Not a fan of instantiating objects in IB. Way too easy to get gigantic nibs 
going which ain't right.

"the length check is arbitrary as I found without it I could get lengths that 
caused the dataWithBYtes to blow up"

Yeeeeaahh… your problem is elsewhere. dataWithBytes can certainly work with 
more than 4KB.

It's not going to fail.

Wrong. data was not alloc'd, create'd, copy'd, and was not retained by self so 
this an overrelease.

Correct.






You're better of putting the NSData creation outside of this method where 
details of msgStart/msgEnd are better known, which would leave you with:


- (void)parseData:(NSData *)data
{
           NSXMLParser *xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:data];
           [xmlParser setDelegate:m_xmlParserDelegate];
           [xmlParser parse];
           [xmlParser release];        
}



…but then one has to wonder why you need this method in this particular object. 
It's a bit awkward. I don't know what your delegate does exactly, particularly 
handling the results, but I would lean towards handing the data to the delegate 
object and telling it to parse it, rather than creating a parser here and 
setting the delegate.
