Instruments (Leaks) and NSDateFormatter

Question

When I run my iPhone app with Instruments Leaks and parse a bunch of NSDates using NSDateFormatter my memory goes up about 1mb and stays even though these NSDates should be

Answer 1

There may be a problem with NSDateFormatter parsing date strings with time zones because when I changed the formatter pattern to remove the timezone portion the problem disappeared.

I changed it from this:

[df setDateFormat:@"EEE, d MMM yyyy H:m:s z"];

To this:

[df setDateFormat:@"EEE, d MMM yyyy H:m:s"];

But now the problem is the dates don't get the right timezone so I'll have to have to determine the timezone myself.
