Use @property

	// In the init function
	UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] init];
	[self addSubview:v];
	_someVar = v
	[v release];
	// In the dealloc function
	[_someVar release];
	_someVar = nil;

Here is what caused the EXC_BAD_ACCESS, and it took me like 2 hours to solve it.

Notice that _someVar is released twice. It's super confusing.

Next time, just use @property.

And, when I want to release it, just set the property to nil.

You cannot really go wrong with @property...
