Fwd: NSSpellChecker crashes after 64k words

Hi Evan

With advice from this list I added NSAutoreleasePool * pool = 
[[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; and [pool release]; to each level of 
my nested loops, and at the same time increased the nesting to four 
levels.

I ran the app last night for 12 hours on a 2 x 2 GB XServe.  I had to 
switch it off after 76,468,325 iterations through NSSpellChecker.  I 
think I can safely say that with proper auto releasing NSSpellChecker 
does not impose any artificial limits on use.

Thanks for contributing time to my little project.

Denis
