iOS 4.2操作系统正在调用Zombie的viewDidUnload（未分配的类）

Question

I have a set of UIViewControllers that I pile up with a NavigationController. When I get to the last element of this pile, I do a popToRootViewController. If I try to create this pile again (and yes, I do use some load of memory in my views) the system calls a memoryWarning and viewDidUnload for one of my previous objects in the navigationcontroller pile. I know this is ok, I can't control when it will generate memory warnings or call viewDidUnload. The problem is that for some reason when it gets there 'self' is already unallocated (NSZombie) so I can't set my properties to nil and release memory. If I do I'll get a message sent to deallocated instance.

Two things:

(a) Is there a way for me to force releasing all subviews from navigationcontroller when I pop to root so I can be more 'memory friendly'?

(b) Why would it call viewDidUnload of an unallocated class?

Here is the stack trace I get:

Any help/suggestion is really appreciated!

May be you can grab the return value of the popToRootViewController and release them ?

(b) Why would it call viewDidUnload of an unallocated class?

Not sure, can you share your code if possible?
