Recursive Blocks in Objective-C leaking in ARC

So I'm using recursive blocks. I understand that for a block to be recursive it needs to be preceded by the __block keyword, and it must be copied so it can be put on the heap. However, when I do this, it is showing up as a leak in Instruments. Does anybody know why or how I can get around it?

Please note in the code below I've got references to a lot of other blocks, but none of them are recursive.

__block NSDecimalNumber *(^ProcessElementStack)(LinkedList *, NSString *) = [^NSDecimalNumber *(LinkedList *cformula, NSString *function){
        LinkedList *list = [[LinkedList alloc] init];
        NSDictionary *dict;
        FormulaType type;
        while (cformula.count > 0) {
            dict = cformula.pop;
            type = [[dict objectForKey:@"type"] intValue];
            if (type == formulaOperandOpenParen || type == formulaListOperand || type == formulaOpenParen) [list add:ProcessElementStack(cformula, [dict objectForKey:@"name"])];
            else if (type == formulaField || type == formulaConstant) [list add:NumberForDict(dict)];
            else if (type == formulaOperand) [list add:[dict objectForKey:@"name"]];
            else if (type == formulaCloseParen) {
                if (function){
                    if ([function isEqualToString:@"AVG("]) return Average(list);
                    if ([function isEqualToString:@"MIN("]) return Minimum(list);
                    if ([function isEqualToString:@"MAX("]) return Maximum(list);
                    if ([function isEqualToString:@"SQRT("]) return SquareRoot(list);
                    if ([function isEqualToString:@"ABS("]) return EvaluateStack(list).absoluteValue;
                    return EvaluateStack(list);
                } else break;
            }
        }
        return EvaluateStack(list);
    } copy];
    NSDecimalNumber *number = ProcessElementStack([formula copy], nil); 

UPDATE So in my own research I've discovered that
