I think I found it. The console was showing hundreds of these lines 
after the crash:

[BCCodonRNA release]


so I commented out these lines in BCCodonRNA and BCCodonDNA:

- (void) dealloc {

     [super release];
}

Actually, they are not needed at all, because they don't add any code.

No more crashes after that.


I have a few questions, though:

1. is there any reason why this code should be in there? If there is, 
the error might be somewhere else, and my fix was not in the right 
place.

2, I also find these lines strange:

- (BCCodon *) init {
     return nil;
}

any reason for that?


3. Why didn't this happen before? The translation demo has been used 
for a while now.


cheers,
