Re: garbage collection and NSConnection

Hi there-

I encountered the same issue some months ago, and posted my questions 
to this list.  An Apple engineer did reply off-list that this was a 
known issue with garbage collection and that there was no known 
workaround at that time.

I was just playing with GC for fun and reverted back to "regular" 
memory management.

You might inquire of Apple DTS if things have changed at all; my 
incident was in the 10.5.0 days.
