You don't have to release a -constant- CFString/NSString (and calling
#_CFRelease on one is a no-op.)  See the bulleted items in:

<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFStrings/Tasks/CreatingAndCopying.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001183/TPXREF110>


(I -hope- that that URL works; it's supposed to refer to the first
section of the "Core Foundation: Strings" doc page.)
