The NSFileHandle/singleton tests in Base have been failing for the last couple 
commits.

The test logs look like this – trying to release the singletons correctly 
throws an exception, but then it seems that the retain count is still zero for 
the singleton objects:

The failures started with one of these two commits from myself, but I cannot 
figure out how they could have caused the above:
https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/commit/54ae296b694187b0c92dfd9bb55dfea58f357e84
https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/commit/5fb5fb46c404601f6fe8d6bbb7ecaae0af7f0ba7

Any ideas about what might be going on here? Could any change in Make or 
libobjc2 maybe have caused the above? I compared build logs between the last 
successful runs and the failed runs. They were identical except for the failed 
tests, but they also don’t show which version of the dependencies was checked 
out so there might have been a difference there.
