Re: some gnustep-base tests are randomly failing

[David Chisnall]

I was getting valgrind errors from something in the XML propertly list 
serialisation / user defaults stuff on program start a little while ago.  It 
went away, so I assumed it was fixed, but it's possible that it just went away 
because the contents of my defaults changed...

I now see a valgrind error in dlopen() form NSBundle.  It seems to try reading 
8 bytes past the end of the string returned by -fileSystemRepresentation.  I 
didn't have time to check if it's a bug in GNUstep or in libc yet.
