NSMutableDictionary memory leak?

There is no leak in that code. Quite possible what's going on is that you're forgetting to do dict release at some point, which means that the NSMutableDictionary created and referenced by dict is never getting released.

I would look higher in the call stack...you're probably not deallocating the object encapsulating your code snippet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
