W.r.t. the memory leak... If you start the TableModel example and click 
inside the tableview the process will grow. It seems to grow unbounded. 
The CurrencyConverter doesn't have this problem.

Sadly enough I've encountered another problem while debugging this: If 
I try to use MallocDebug my program crashes as soon as the code tries 
to call a method in a PyObjC created class. It crashes somewhere in the 
middle of the objective-C runtime, which is compiled without debug 
information :-(. I've managed to create a standalone Objective-C 
program that features the same problem. This code is based on an 
example in the Objective-C reference from Apple. Any ideas on what 
might be wrong?

BTW. The easiest way to reproduce the problems with the attached code 
is to build it, run 'gdb class-test' and then the following commands 
from inside gdb:
	set start-with-shell 0
	set env DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES /usr/lib/libMallocDebug.A.dylib
	set env DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE 1
	run
