I think you are just wrong here. stopModelWithCode: should only be
called from within a modal session. It would not do much harm to not
raise an exception here, but some errors may go undetected then. You
should be glad that GNUstep tells you that your code is wrong, where
Cocoa seems to leave you in the dark.

I don't have an idea what you are trying to do, but the documentation
states clearly that you should not call this method from outside the
event processing of a modal window. If you really need to call this
method you could work around by checking [NSApp modalWindow]first. But I
think this is wrong, but I cannot tell you a correct solution without
knowing the actual problem you are going to solve.
