Yes it is, because it's not autorelease. It's alloced with [[Uploader 
alloc] initWithURL] and I never do a dealloc on it. (But just to be 
sure, I just added a retain there, with no change in the crash.)

Yes, that seems reasonable, but the more I think about it, the more I 
think it must be a bug in the library.  Based on the stack trace, it 
seems like it's a problem with the NSInputStream object, but I even 
tried doing

  NSInputStream* stream = [[[NSInputStream ....] retain] retain] 
retain]

to try and workaround it if something is doing an extra release, but I 
still get the same crash.
