So you should find out why it does not set the value to a copy.

Ok, maybe my patch is wrong, I can take it out. The problem could be indeed NSCell.. I see it does:

line 335

  id newContents;
 
  ASSIGN (_object_value, object);
 
  if (_formatter == nil)
    {
      if (object == nil || [object isKindOfClass: [NSString class]] == YES)
        {
          newContents = object;
          _cell.contents_is_attributed_string = NO;
          _cell.has_valid_object_value = YES;
        }
<....>

  ASSIGN (_contents, newContents);

I see no "copy" method here, perhaps the fix is as simple as
newContents = [NSString stringWithString: (NSString*)object)];


stringWithString should be fine if our own gnustep doc is correct:

+ (id) stringWithString: (NSString*)aString;

Create a copy of aString.
