Re: Problem with NSShortDateFormatString

[Fred Kiefer]

I tried to debug into this in base, but I am rather confused by the code 
in NSUserDefaults. What goes on there is really complicated and has to 
be. Still there could be a problem I am puzzled by the line 945 in 
NSUserDefaults.m using uL instead of nL as I would expect. But then, I 
really don't understand what is going on there.
