I have been trying to figure out why the NSXMLParser *rssParser is causing a memory leak. I have commented out all of my code and I believe this line is causing it. I am trying to parse a webservice using NSXMLParser, maybe I need to use something else?

- (void)parseXMLFileAtURL:(NSString *)URL
{	
    NSMutableArray * messageCountArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    NSURL *xmlURL = [NSURL URLWithString:URL];
    NSXMLParser *rssParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlURL]; // causes leak, I believe
	
    [messageCountArray release];
    [xmlURL release];
    [rssParser release];
}

I have also used Instruments with Apple's SeismicXML example and it also shows a leak.

Any ideas and help are appreciated.
