I see the problem. NSTextView knows it is going to be dealloc'd twice, 
so it makes arrangements not to release its ivars prematurely. However, 
subclasses (GenericContsView) do not know this so they happily release 
their ivars twice.

Unfortuneatly, in this case, knowing the problem does not make it easy 
to solve :-(
