  NSString *myString = @"sample string";
  NSString *newString = [NSString stringWithString: myString];

If I set a breakpoint after these two lines, the pointer for myString is the same as the pointer for newString.

WTF? Isn't NSString copy supposed to return a pointer to a new object? Or am I missing something fundamental about how copy is supposed to work?
