Huh - I had misunderstood <http://developer.apple.com/technotes/
tn2004/tn2124.html>, then.  It implied to me that CFZombieLevel would 
have caught misbehaviors in CF objects, even if they were toll free 
bridged.  Of course, it contains little enough text that I was 
reading a bit more into it than strictly implied.

Doc bug filed.
