some more information
1) the code appears to work on Linux and BSD
2) the problem happens when a GSWS invokeMethod call is done in a 
thread, but works if done from the main thread
3) by doing a mix of libraries, I checked that I can use latest of 
everything (performance, WebServices, Databasin) except gnustep-base

the last gnustep base with which it works is of 7th May, with the 
current one I have this problem.

I will see if i can reproduce this by downgrading my gnustep-base 
version and will attempt to track down the revision/change.
