Memory Leak 'Select Statement' iPhone - iphone

Question

Hi after several hours searching i have found the function which gives me memory leaks. The leaks i get are:
Leaked Object#AddressSize Responsible Library Responsible Frame
NSCFString 2 < multiple > 32 Foundation
-[NSPlaceholderString initWithBytes:length:encoding:]
i cant see anything wrong with this code. any help would be gratefully received Dan
-(void)readItems {
if (!database) return; // earlier problems
// build select statement
if (!selStmt)
{
const char *sql = "SELECT * FROM Demotivate order by name asc;";
if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(database, sql, -1, &selStmt, NULL) != SQLITE_OK)
{
selStmt = nil;
}
}
if (!selStmt)
{
NSAssert1(0, #"Can't build SQL to read items [%s]", sqlite3_errmsg(database));
}
// loop reading items from list
[items removeAllObjects]; // clear list for rebuild
int ret;
while ((ret=sqlite3_step(selStmt))==SQLITE_ROW)
{ // get the fields from the record set and assign to item
// primary key
NSInteger n = sqlite3_column_int(selStmt, 0);
Item *item = [[Item alloc] initWithPrimaryKey:n]; // create item
// item name
char *s = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(selStmt, 1);
if (s==NULL) s = "";
item.name = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)s];
// quantity needed
item.howOften = sqlite3_column_int(selStmt, 3);
// noted
s = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(selStmt, 2);
if (s==NULL) s = "";
item.Cost = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)s];
s = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(selStmt, 4);
if (s==NULL) s = "";
item.income = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)s];
s = (char *)sqlite3_column_text(selStmt, 5);
if (s==NULL) s = "";
item.wage = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:(char *)s];
[items addObject:item]; // add to list
[item release];
// free item
}
sqlite3_reset(selStmt); // reset (unbind) statement
}

Probably you forgot to release item.name in Item's dealloc.
