GDNC crashes

[Marko Mikulicic]

Hello,

I use libffi becouse libfcall does fails with gstep-db (EOFaul class).
I used gnustep with libffi for 4 days without problems then I rebooted
my machine, rebuild the font cache (I added latin2 fonts on the system
and I wanted to try them out on gnustep) wich leaded to a xfs crash 
(Xfree 4.0.3). After that I sucessfully started an *.app but
the NSWorkspaceDidLaunchApplicationNotification crashed gdnc.

Is gdnc requred also for non distributed code ? (All I want
is a database oriented application that doesn't need interact
with other applications, for now)

Is there a quick hack that prevents gnustep from using gdnc ?

infos:
Intel x86, gcc 3.0, libffi-1.20, base-1.0.2, gui-0.7.0,


I have a very poor net connection so I didn't use cvs code.
Are some of these issues been fixed yet?
