NSDate oddity

[David Relson]

Greetings!

I'm using gnustep-base-1.0.0 with linux-2.4.4 on top of a Mandrake 8.0 
distribution and have noticed an odd interaction between NSCalendarDate and 
gdb.  The test case is trival - a program that creates 2 or more 
NSCalendarDate objects (and formats them as does NSLog()).  Run from the 
command line, the program output is fine.  Run inside gdb, the first date 
is garbled.

Anybody familiar with this anomaly or know what causes it?

The problem was initially noticed when using NSLog() calls in a large, 
multithreaded program.  However, for once, the problem reduced nicely to a 
nearly trivial program.

FWIW, I've attached the program (date.m) and two output files - prog.out 
and gdb.out
