I have this very simple program where I just create an object and look at the retain count.

#import 
#import "GeometryCalculator.h"

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
     NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

     GeometryCalculator *calculator = [[GeometryCalculator alloc] init];
     NSLog(@"Counter: %d", [calculator retainCount]);

    [calculator release];

        [pool drain];
        return 0;  
}

I expected my retainCount to be 1 but it is 16863520. The Class GeometryCalculator is totally empty. No methodes, no instance variables.
