recent cvs snap causes segfaults

[Stefan Böhringer]

A recent cvs snapshot as of 13:00 MET of today fails to compile. A
segfault is emitted by all the tools resulting from making base, which
later prevents gui from compiling.

The error seems to run through +[NSAssertionHandler currentHandler] in
all tools. However, another exception seems to raised from the method
which finally causes the segfault.

Breaking in currentHandler gives the following (for plmerge, but also
for defaults):

I'm with gcc3.2.1, removed complete GNUstep tree, pulled a fresh cvs
copy and am not aware of other system changes recently.

Thanks, best wishes,
