Details:

Revision 25780 on the svn trunk broke this: -{NSTimer invalidate] should
release its target and userInfo, but this code got moved into the dealloc
method. This is wrong: Mac OS X documentation clearly states that invalidate
releases the target and userInfo; and it's broken: often the target itself
owns a reference to the NSTimer, and would rely on invalidate to break the
reference count loop.
