I have encountered this bug on Ubuntu during the last year, but that was with 
Étoilé code base not GNUstep. The fix was to include assert.h as documented in 
the Linux man page.
It was working fine in the past on Ubuntu without including assert.h, but this 
has changed recently. I'm not sure whether this is due to a Linux or compiler 
change.

Cheers,
Quentin.
