I'm sure David's point was that, at the moment, GNUstep limits damage  
where Cocoa trashes things.  It's not at all true to say that GNUstep  
fails and Cocoa recovers ... more true to say that cocoa hides bugs  
and often gets away with it.

Anyway, we should implement the NSExceptionMask user default and the  
issue then becomes irrelevant as we can control which behavior we want  
for a particular application.
