making the release might take a while...

the problem is easy to describe, but I haven't found the solution yet. 
When I run Scripts/runPyObjCTests on a 10.2 system python crashes. If I 
check what happens using gdb it turns out that the methodLists of 
WebNSView has a bogus value: it is the same value as one of the 
methodLists of another class (its name excapes me at the moment). This 
seems to be a memory management error, but so far the bug has escaped 
detection.

When I run runPyObjCTests on my GNUstep box I don't find any problems, 
even when running with valgrind. But: our gnustep support is limited to 
Foundation, AppKit and other frameworks are not supported yet.

The problem does occur on 10.3 also, but only when using the 
MallocDebug package that was included with Xcode 1.2. Sadly enough 
MallocDebug gives no useful information other than the crash, which was 
a disapointment because it took more than 8 hours to run runPyObjCTests 
when using MallocDebug.
