iOS zombie logic. Eating Memory

[IDMah]

Hi all

Trying to find a bug.. seems like I am allocating something over and over.
When I run zombies it tells me..

#	   Address	        Category	 Timestamp  Live	Size	Responsible Library	Responsible Caller
185766 0xe452070  CFArray (mutable-variable)	 00:28.909.069	32	GraphicsServices	        GSEventRunModal
185767 0xe455830  CFArray (store-deque)        00:28.909.076	32	GraphicsServices	        GSEventRunModal
185768 0xe4557b0  Malloc 128 Bytes	         00:28.909.117	128	GraphicsServices	        GSEventRunModal

but when I click on the History it says

#	Address	Category	Event Type	RefCt	Timestamp	Size	Responsible Library	Responsible Caller
0	0xe452070	CFArray (mutable-variable)	Malloc	1	00:28.909.069	32	GraphicsServices	GSEventRunModal
1	0xe452070	CFArray (mutable-variable)	CFRelease	0	00:28.909.115	0	GraphicsServices	GSEventRunModal

which says to me that it is being released.. but my live memory keeps going up??
How can I tell what these are referring to I thought it was UIImages Animation but I've blocked that for now and
still I keep spilling memory everywhere..

any help appreciated..
thank
Ian

ps. sorry about the formatting..

If your memory footprint is growing endlessly, you have a memory leak, not zombies.

Zombies are over-released objects. (The walking dead.) When you try to send a message to an object that has been released, you usually crash spectacularly, since either the memory does not contain a valid object, or it contains an object that doesn't respond to the selector you're sending it.

You should run the leaks instrument on your program, not zombies.

Also try doing a static analysis pass on it. The static analyzer is pretty good at finding leaks in your code without having to run it.
