Understanding (symbolized) iOS crash log

Question

Hi, This is a continuation to my previous attempt to resolve a pesky issue affecting a few instances of my app. The problem happens on a few iPads only, but as you know, these are the ones who take their time to leave a nice, thoughtful review :-/

Anywho, I finally got the crash log symbolized properly, and it is pointing to:

NonogramsAppDelegate.m:105

The line it points to is the last line of the function:

return YES;

I am not sure what to make of it, again, any help from you awesome people would be greatly appreciated, by me and the poor souls who tried my app once, got addicted, and now it crashes on launch...

I pasted the entire didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function in the previous post here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3609084/ipad-app-works-on-most-devices-gets-exc-crash-sigabrt-on-some

Below is more of the log.

THANKS!!

I don't think this is the problem, but this:

NSNumber *pref_gameInProgress_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:0]; 
NSNumber *pref_soundOn_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:1]; 
NSNumber *pref_buttonsOnLeft_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:0]; 
NSNumber *pref_gameNumber_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:self.pref_currentPuzzleId]; 
NSNumber *pref_gameSize_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:self.pref_gameSize]; 
NSNumber *pref_gameTimer_temp = [NSNumber numberWithInt:self.pref_gameTimerValue]; 

// ...

[pref_gameInProgress_temp release]; 
[pref_gameSize_temp release]; 
[pref_soundOn_temp release]; 
[pref_gameTimer_temp release]; 
[pref_gameNumber_temp release]; 
[pref_buttonsOnLeft_temp release]; 

is a little weird. You're releasing a series of autoreleased instances. Those releases look rather unnecessary if not a little dangerous.
