Details:

This was reported at http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/1079 as a bug in the
GNUstep port of Emacs.

Using the attached test program, on x86:

$ ./test --eval '(setq foo 1)'
Useless info about bundle: <NSBundle: 0x813ec98> </usr/bin/Resources/test>
'--eval' - a string.
'(setq foo 1)' failed with:
Parse failed  - Parse failed at line 1 (char 7) - unexpected character
(wanted ',' or ')').
Failure.
$ echo $?
1
$ NOHANDLE=yes ./test --eval '(setq foo 1)'
Useless info about bundle: <NSBundle: 0x813ed18> </usr/bin/Resources/test>
NOHANDLE defined; should exit with success.
$ echo $?
0

On x86_64, however, it crashes with a backtrace analogical to that when
bootstrapping Emacs
(http://emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1079#45).
