ok, I understand the spirit.  But in this case [NSMutableArray copyWithZone]
is wrong :

- (id) copyWithZone: (NSZone*)zone
{
  /* a deep copy */
  unsigned      count = [self count];
  id            objects[count];
  NSArray       *newArray;
  unsigned      i;

  [self getObjects: objects];
  for (i = 0; i < count; i++)
    objects[i] = [objects[i] copyWithZone: zone];
  newArray = [[GSArrayClass allocWithZone: zone]
    initWithObjects: objects count: count];
  while (i > 0)
    RELEASE(objects[--i]);
  return newArray;
}

unless there is a something else I don't understand.
