[bug #27128] rootProxy cannot be called twice on an NSConnection

[Michael Johnston]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #27128 (project gnustep):

Unfortunately I don't have any easy to run test case at the moment, but I
think my problem may be explained by your second point.

I don't explicitly release the proxy when I first call rootProxy. I assume
the method returns an autoreleased object that is (or is a copy of) some
object internally retained by the NSConnection instance. 

However between the two times I call rootProxy the autorelease pool is
emptied. So if the rootProxy is autoreleased when it is first returned (and
not retained by the NSConnection that returned it) it is destroyed in my case
- and hence the connection would be invalidated as you say.

Perhaps if you empty the autorelease pool between your calls you may see the
problem?

So should the rootProxy docs say ... "The returned proxy is not retained by
the receiver. If it is deallocated the connection that supplied it is
invalidated"?
