iPhone: App crash in MapView after 20 min

Question

I am working on an app that tracks a users location. After about 20 minutes it seems that the app always crashes, and I am not sure why. Device logs show:

Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x069f6000

Looks like I am trying to release something that has already been released, but what?! I have NSZombie enabled, and it does not seem to help.

It used to work, and I recently updated my class to use self. for anything that I synthesized, could this be the issue?

EDIT: I updated the error. It seems to be listing the line numbers for each line, but they do not seem to be helping to find the issue.

Do you have NSZombie enabled while you're running on the device? If so chances are you are running out of memory. As you know, NSZombie keeps released objects around so you can detect a double release.

Chances are you do have some memory issues though. Does the static analyzer show you anything? (shift-command-A).
