iOS Quick Quartz YES/NO question

[KnightWRX]

Does the following code result in bad stuff happening ?

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    /* unimportant stuff happens here */
    CGContextRelease(context);
}

I'm not sure. It looks like it might as you don't own the context you are releasing...

Interesting document, a good read. I figured as much as soon as all the "Invalid context" errors popped up the second time I went through drawRect but still good to get to read the actual API docs on it.
