I figured out how to make this code "work" but I still don't know what the problem was. Can someone enlighten me?

- (void)testSegFault {
                int size = 8;
                uint8_t *bytes = malloc( size * sizeof(uint8_t) );
                NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:bytes length:size];
[data release];// this causes a seg fault.... comment it out and everything works.
}

According to the NSData documentation, the NSData object will take ownership of the array I created with malloc. So far so good but why don't I have to release it? Or is there something sinister going on with the uint8_t data type vs. size of the byte(?) array?

thanks,

        Nik
