Ok, one thought - the method setQuotedObject is probably something like

- (void)setQuotedObject:(id)anObject

or isn't it? Then the result of the above concatenation would be highly 
architecture dependent I think. It probably works on ix86 because the 
arguments are passed on the stack and not in registers, but that's 
rather a guess.
