Good.  Please run another test program...  If it works, which I hope and
expect so, then the culprit is really NSProcessInfo.  In the backtraces
you sent initially, frame #14 is an impossible code path, so something
went utterly wrong before that.  I hope stepping will show what.

So build the first test.m
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=592751#78) with `make
debug=yes' and (possibly there's a better way for automatic stepping?):

(gdb) set pagination off
(gdb) set logging on
(gdb) set logging redirect on
(gdb) directory <gnustep-base source>
(gdb) run
Obtain a backtrace when you get the SIGABRT.
(gdb) break +[NSProcessInfo initialize]
(gdb) run
When you reach the breakpoint:
(gdb) while 1
>step
>end

When it crashes again, just quit and send the compressed file.  Thanks!
