I applied a version of your fix for initialising a string from unicode 
data (NSString.m)
and the cString and cStringLength methods (GSString.m)

As far as I can see, the other part of your NSString.m patch is wrong 
though - I can't
even see what it's trying to do, but its effect appears to be to 
terminate parsing
prematurely for some strings.

+   for (i = 1; count < length; i++)
+     if (_pld.ptr[i] > 255) // 2 byte character
+       count += 2;
+     else
+       count++;
+   _pld.end = i;

Perhaps some experimental code that got left in the patch by mistake?
