Well, you're never deallocating your XXXDataConnect you've just allocated. If you don't deallocate it, who will?

Assuming this is Objective-C, I think you need a return [gXXXDataConnect autorelease] as your end-of-function. http://www.otierney.net/objective-c.html#retain might be a helpful link here.
