MKMapView crashes app when view controller popped

A friend helped me get this one.

I implemented my own method for popping the view controller instead of using the default navigation controller's back button. I just had to add [self.mapView setDelegate:nil]; before I popped the view controller.

- (void)goBack
{
    [self.mapView setDelegate:nil];
    [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

OK, this is the real answer. It's from the Apple doc, but it's missing from MKMapView. It's only found under the documentation for its delegate protocol:

"Before releasing an MKMapView object for which you have set a delegate, remember to set that object’s delegate property to nil. One place you can do this is in the dealloc method where you dispose of the map view."

NOTE: This also applies to UIWebView.

I set the MapView's delegate pointer to nil in the delegate's dealloc method, and our crashes seem to have been eliminated.
