UIViewController EXC_BAD_ACCES problem when popping

I'm trying to create a view controller which contains one table view with custom UITableViewCells in them that are editable. Now when I create the view controller and push it by the calling [self.navigationController pushController:animated:] it shows up just fine, and I can pop it away when I push the 'go back' button of the navigation controller. When I create it a second time, it displays well. But when I click it away a second time, my application crashes with the following stack frame:

I know I do not notify my delegate that the view will or did disappear and that I do not fill the UITableView, but it is not necessary to implement that right now.

If someone could help me with this, I would be very pleased. Thank you in advance, ief2

The error wasn't to be found in the displaying of the view controller, but in my implementation of the -viewWillAppear: and the -viewWillDisappear: method of the view controller which shows the view controller. In that view controller I notify a delegate, and that delegate did release the view controller. So when the view controller pops twice, once when the view disappears the first time and once when the view disappears a second time, the view controller get's deallocated because it's delegate released it twice. When the navigation controller tries to access this view controller, which has just been deallocated, the program of course crashes.
