I agree,  in multithreading/multiprocessing environments,  the GNUstep
library is not clean, and the return([[target retain]autorelease]); is
one step toward a more correct solution.


I note  that the new  desktop computers from  Apple all come  with two
processors.   While  that  does  not  imply  that  MacOSX  AppKit  and
FoundationKit  are multithreading-aware,  it's  probable that  they'll
move  this  way. (When  you  have  several  processors available,  the
incentive to use multithreading is greater).
