Instruments shows Leaks, but...?

[crashmonkey]

I have a class that declares 4 pointer ivars.
Each pointer gets a certain amount of memory malloced when the class is created and initialized.

I create 2 instances of this class in the viewController's viewDidLoad
by alloc/init.

I release both instances in the viewController dealloc method.
I also free the 4 ivars pointer memory in the class dealloc.

Both classes live for the life of the app and don't go away unless the app is quit.

So when I run Instruments to test for leaks it shows these 2 class instances and their malloced ivars as leaks.

Are these valid leaks even though they are accounted for in the dealloc methods? Should I just ignore what instruments is telling me?

Running Static Analyzer shows no problems.

Are you running Instruments on the device or on the simulator? If it shows consistently on the device, then I would worry.

Yes, I'm running on the device.
