If d is a local variable, as this code fragment seems to say, what's keeping it (and therefore d.someView) from getting garbage collected as soon as it goes out of scope? 'setVideoDataSource' is documented to *not* retain the view (in non-GC), and I would take such a statement to mean that it does not hold a keep-alive reference to the object (in GC) either.
d is a local variable indeed, but it is just an intermediate instrument, one that points to a document that is held' by the document controller. The object d points to remains connected to a root object by being held by the controller.
Just in case: turning of the collector for variable d doesn't make a difference. Stil crashes.
