Thank you Quincey for your help! Looks like I was reading too much into the 
trace, thinking it was a bindings problem. Turns out I had done something like 
this:

NSNumber *myNum = [[NSNumber alloc] init];
myNum = [prefs valueForKey:MinimumValue]; // retrieve NSNumber from shared 
defaults
// do stuff
[myNum release];

I thought I was releasing the NSNumber I had created, but if I understand 
correctly the second line just points myNumber at the autoreleased value 
returned from valueForKey. So in addition to the overrelease caused by the last 
line, the NSNumber I originally created is orphaned, right?

So you know this is a memory management error -- a string has been 
overreleased. 
What's your code to "change the value in a text field"?
