This helped me to see that there is actually a double release check, 
but I would like the debugger to break on the raising of the 
"NSGenericException". On OSX, there is the "NSHangOnUncaughtException = 
YES;" provided by NSDebug, but it does not seem to be on GNUstep :/

Is there any workaround ?

I did not manage to find documentation on this, and it does not seem to 
have any effect. What is this used for ?

TIA,
