OK, here is the part that I'm still sticking on. First, you wrote:

From Apple's docs, it seems that setting the build setting to "Supported" 
rather than "Required", should allow the framework to either manage its own 
objects, or have them collected. What do you mean by "coded" for GC? If there 
are specific things that need to be changed to use even the "supported" 
setting, I cannot find specific information on what these would be, or what to 
look for to try to eliminate the problems in the source. I've already 
recompiled the framework with GC supported, but there's obviously more than 
must be done to truly make this work, and the docs have not been helpful.

The only thing I can think of, as of now, is perhaps, once the framework is 
compiled with GC supported, the GC, at run time, is not finding any "strong" 
references to the objects created by the framework, and destroying them as fast 
as they are created. If that is the case, I have no idea how to rectify that in 
the framework's source.

Thanks for any help on this.
