You can also try setting NSZombieEnabled environment variable to "YES". 
 This will cause any deallocated object to spam to the console when it 
has been deallocated and gets sent a message.  Once you figure out what 
the object is, you are in good shape to track it down if you are 
familiar with the source.

P.S.  If you try Richard's solution, don't forget to, at some point, 
-remove- the double release check from your code.  I had that enabled on 
accident in TalkSoup for several releases and forgot about it.  I spent 
several hours tracking down why it was so incredibly slow ;)
