This doesn’t hurt anything, but I’m wondering if somebody turned on some sort of debugging code that is creating the log entries. I’m doing the same sort of thing in my own code, which is how I discovered this. Is there any way to turn off this output?

No break was taken and the log messages kept coming, which I suppose tells us that they’re not coming from an NSLog call, but rather from something down lower. I’ll do a little research to see if I can discover anything on the web anywhere.

Thanks for the help.

By the way, I’ve discovered more problems with my contrib, but I haven’t resolved them all yet and don’t expect you to hold up the release for my fixes. Bummer.
