There is a test case in the EtoileThread framework (part of  
EtoileFoundation).  The TestThread.m file contains a -testObjectReturn  
method which floods an object in another thread with messages.

This was difficult to reproduce, because in a lot of cases the method  
would complete while the return address was still on the stack,  
causing the proxy to leak but no other problems to arise.  This was  
causing random freezes in Mélodie until I tracked it down.
