Wrong Description from NSNumber

[Gerrit Van Dyk]

Hi all,

I have finished porting our backend system to gnustep. Our system makes use
of NSNumber's description method quite a lot. I am sorry to say but this
returns total garbage from an implementation point of view. If I construct a
number from a float ie [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.5] the description method
returns "0.0000000" which is definitely not 1.5. If I construct a number
from a short ie [NSNumber numberWithShort:25] the description method returns
"-1073807335". 

Should I implement my own description method that returns the correct value?

Regards
Gerrit van Dyk
