View object not accessible from controller object

I have a simple app that has a controller and a custom view object 
called VideoView.  My app was working fine until I started doing some 
interface improvements, and now I get exec_bad_access whenever the 
controller tries to send a message to the VideoView object.  I have 
figured out that, even though the VideoView object is initialized 
correctly when the nib file loads, and even though I connected 
VideoView  to the controller with an a controller outlet, it's as if 
the object isn't there.  In debugging, I can see that there is no 
object pointed to by the outlet (again, even though I connected it in 
IB).

Does anyone know what would would cause this behavior?  I have tried 
everything I can think of, including deleting and recreating the 
VideoView object, and re-connecting to the controller in IB.
