That is not a solution, it is just a patch for wrong behaviour of gnustep. gnustep should 
take care about what it is about to destroy. what would you put in gs documentation? 'do 
not use / as gnustep root directory because it can delete your data.' - "Ouch, there 
is stated that it can destroy my data somehow,. How can i trust it even i install it into 
other directory?"
