Can you copy/paste the actual error from Xcode? And backtrace of where the crash happens, if any?
You definitely should not be autorelease
ing the object returned by +imageNamed:
; that object is already autoreleased.

There is your answer. You have an overreleased object. May be the image
, might be something else. Turn on Zombie detection in Instruments and run again.
