Memory leak loading thumbnail image
<p>using sdk  4.1. I'm getting growing memory footprint followed by crash (observed in Instruments) when loading a thumbnail image into imageview in table view cell. In addition scrolling is very jerky even with just 7-8 cells</p>

<pre><code>    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView  
            cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

     static NSString *FavouritesCellIdentifier = @"cellIdentifier";


 UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
 if (cell == nil) 
 {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault
                                    reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];

    UIImageView* imgView =  [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10,
                                                                     16, 64, 64)];
    imgView.tag = kImageLabelTag;
    [cell.contentView addSubview:imgView];
    [imgView release];

   }

   UIImageView* imgView = (UIImageView*)[cell viewWithTag:kImageLabelTag];

    NSData *contactImageData = (NSData*)ABPersonCopyImageDataWithFormat(personRef,  
                                                    kABPersonImageFormatThumbnail);
    UIImage *img = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:contactImageData];
   [imgView setImage:img]; 
   [contactImageData release];
  [img release];

    return cell;
  }
</code></pre>

<p>In viewdidunload i am setting self.tableview=nil , is there anyway to release the images held by the cell as memory footprint keeps growing even when navigating to totally different viewcontroller. Memory shoots up only when selecting the viewcontroller that holds this tableview.</p>
