Details:

debugging the reason of easydiff Crashing while opening the second file to
compare, I traced it to a problem with [NSSavePanel directory]. That method
returns just the instance variable _directory. 

Since the second time the shared instance of the panel is gotten the internal
variable gets ASSIGNed, the original object returned the first time gets
released, and thus gets invalid. 

even if this could be worked around in several ways in the applicatioin, I
consider ths behaviour unexpected. I thus run the following test on the mac: 

{ 
NSOpenPanel *panel; 
NSString *dir; 

panel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel]; 
dir = nil; 
[panel runModalForDirectory: dir file:nil types:nil]; 
dir = [panel directory]; 
panel = [NSOpenPanel openPanel]; 
[panel runModalForDirectory: dir file:nil types:nil]; 
NSLog(@"dir: %@", dir); 
NSLog(@"file: %@", [[panel filenames] objectAtIndex:0]); 

} 

and it works fine. thus I think gnustep should return an autoreleaed copy of
the directory string.
