This seems to be the most appropriate solution :)
Actually, I managed to track the source of the double free using the  
`malloc_history' command to get the type of object that was released  
twice. I found valuable information here, too  
<http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?DebuggingAutorelease>.

Thanks, I assumed it was documented in the base reference  
<http://www.gnustep.org/resources/documentation/Developer/Base/ 
Reference/index.html> - but I found the pages you mention by googlin'  
;)

It's strange, because in the case of my autoreleasing of an already  
released object, this did not work, neither on OSX or GNUstep. I will  
try to write examples and see if I can reproduce this.

Thanks a lot for your help (and saving me hours of bug chasing ;)
