I am trying to call objectForKey: on an nsdictionary ivar, but I get an EXC_BAD_ACCESS error. The nsdictionary is created using the JSON-framework and then retained. The first time I use it (just after I create it, same run loop) it works perfectly fine, but when I try to access it later nothing works. I am doing this code to try to figure out what is wrong:

    if (resultsDic == nil) {
    NSLog(@"results dic is nil.");
}
if ( [resultsDic respondsToSelector:@selector(objectForKey:)] ) {
    NSLog(@"resultsDic should respond to objectForKey:");
}

The dictionary is never nil, but it always crashes on respondsToSelector. any ideas?
