So I was wondering whether would it make sense to have a reciprocal segue when navigating down a hierarchy of categories of unknown depth in ios5? I was thinking that the iOS navigation controller should provide the back button stuff etc., but it seems like if I was setting this up in a storyboard then I need to keep on seguing over and over again to the same controller displaying the current list of categories ...After some help from iphonedev on irc.freenode.net I wasn't able to create a segue from one viewcontroller to itself, but I was able to make a seque to a clone of that view controller (Option Key drag to copy out of the left hand list view of items, thanks Psy) and I got the convoluted hook up pictured here. Seems remarkably unDRY, but it works and I can now navigate up and down the category hierarchy with the navigation controller handling the back button to get back up again as necessary.

okay, so apple responded to my bug report saying that it was a replicate of an existing one. Would be nice to be able to browse the existing list so I could avoid effort re-submitting when I find an issue
That sounds like another bug report waiting to happen!
