That's because it was leaking. You sent a -retain to an object, and you
didn't send it a corresponding -release, so the object leaked. You need to
balance *your own* use of -retain and -release to avoid leaks. What the
object does internally, retaining and/or releasing itself, is immaterial to
what you need to do with it from outside.
