This can't be your actual code -- '[variantEnding release];' won't 
compile because there's no such instance variable any more.

As for the error, it almost looks as if something is using an old 
version of MyClass.h -- one whose first instance variable is declared 
as an object. The integer value of 'repetitions' is apparently being 
used as an object address. (That's why it doesn't fail till you set 
the value to something other than 0 -- sending a message to a nil 
object pointer is ignored.)

Or maybe you typecast 'repetitions' somewhere? '(NSNumber 
*)repetitions' most certainly won't work.
