Re: Emacs Anyone?

[Fred Kiefer]

Sorry, I fail to understand what is going on here. The code sends the message 
alloc to the class object NSAutoreleasePool and this ends up das a forwarding 
message. Why doesn’t it use the super implementation of alloc in NSObject? 
Which Objective-C runtime are you using? Most likely the gcc one.
Somebody with a deeper understanding of the inner working of our different 
runtimes should step up here.
