Test project to repro.

My code uses the open source AMSerialPort library, and the static analyzer
reports a memory leak that I am fairly sure is a false positive. 
Interestingly, it only reports this when garbage collection is turned on, not
when it is off.

See attached html and xcode project to repro.

Basically, the code 1) creates a dict with CFDictionaryCreateMutableCopy 2)
calls IOServiceAddMatchingNotification(), which is documented to reduce the
retain count.
