As I wrote, I am no expert here. I can just say that not retaining an 
object, but releasing it in the dealloc method looks wrong.
Factory methods may return global objects that will stay around long 
enough, but then you should not release them.

This may not be the cause of your problem, it is just wrong and should 
be changed.
