vague notions are better than none.
couldn't the override just call NSObject's 'retain' method (or 'alloc' 
or 'init') - we wouldn't have to know its details.
does anyone know of any code/plugin that does browse objects? that 
might give us a clue.

is crawling the heap looking for objects out of the question?
