my bad. I meant baseadd.

I could not prove this, it was just my hypothesis on what the stacktrace 
said. The other hypothesis here (Adam) is that there might be memory 
problem. Hence I tried to build a GNUstep base with MallocDebug. But I 
never got around to find the appropriate place in the GNUstep-make innards 
to place the -lMallocDebug flag. All the stuff went over my head and I 
dropped out since I had no Idea how to tackle this. The last state is 
visible here: 
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=DD750B82-9918-11D6-B3A3-0030654C2998%40hamburg.de&output=gplain
 
with the compile and gdb output in the end. Some more discussion on that 
topic is here:

or just search for "Darwin" in

And before I forget it: NSZombie also played an obscure role in this 
bizarre game...
