I just tried a simple program, and I don't have any problems with NSLog. 
This may be due to the fact that there are several methods for 
NSProcessInfo to get the environment setup. On Linux, for instance, this 
happens in NSProcessInfo's +load method, so more than likely it gets 
called soon enough that it doesn't cause any problems.

On other systems, it can happen in the main method (which is usually 
soon enough, but does occur after all +load methods are called).

Apple, of course, doesn't have this problem because they can hack their 
compiler to provide the correct stuff to the program.

I don't know why it would have changed in your case. A gdb backtrace 
would help see why.
