gdb is just interpreting what it finds in the stack, and the stack can 
be corrupted by a malfunctioning program...

You do have an automatic variable in -createGraphWriter that will use 
local stack space to store the pointers to the color strings and it will 
become invalid as soon as the method leaves.  If you assign that pointer 
as in [prSeatGraph setColors: colors count: 9], then prSeatGraph will be 
holding a invalid reference to the color array after leaving the method. 
 So you either have to malloc that array, put it in an ivar, or make it 
`static'.
