My main thread creates a few other objects which have NSThreads and/or

-dealloc is short circuited when an application is quit (as deallocation is going to occur due to the application's memory space going away).

You should arrange for things that need to occur on application quit to occur in -applicationShouldTerminate: without relying on object lifetimes to do this (if you ever write a GC enabled application you will find you have the same issues in that you cannot message an object in -finalize reliably).
