If ObjectAlloc cannot deduce type information for the block, it uses 'GeneralBlock'. Any strategies to get leaks from this block that may eliminate the need of my 'trial and error' methods that I use? The Extended Detail thing doesn't really do it for me as I just keep guessing.
A:
In XCode, you can try build and analyze. Sometimes it can be helpful in finding leaks and sometimes not. But it's worth a shot.

Where is the "Build and Analyze" menu/command/icon?

I'm using Xcode 3.2, and it's under the Build menu on the top most menu bar.

I find that sometimes if in the leaks instrument you click the button that looks something like this: {= and drag your app delegate file onto the screen, it will lead you in the right direction by highlighting the code that allocated that leaked block.
Every time it goes into a function call drag the source file with that function onto it. This can be hit and miss though as sometimes these mystery leaks aren't tracked back to the delegate.
