So is there a rule of thumb, like when should we release immediately
after
passing the object to some Cocoa API calls?
This should work OK, so if it's crashing, you have a bug elsewhere.
Once you are no longer interested in an object, you are free to
release it. Another object that needs to keep it will retain it.
