That was the more generalized problem then.

An object's instance variables are guaranteed to be initialized to 
zero (or nil, for pointers) by the Objective-C runtime. But no such 
guarantee is made concerning local variables; Objective-C behaves 
just like C in that respect.

You should always initialize local variables yourself, to avoid 
precisely these kinds of problems.
