No ... it sets the isa pointer to 0xdeadface so any attempt to send

for the crash is obvious when you look at the object in the debugger.
I do occasionally think about implementing NSZombie ... but it offers
very
little improvement over the existing mechanism, and is not an official
part of
the OpenStep or MacOS-X APIs, so I've never got round to it.
