10.2 and GNUstep are broken, then. :-)  Seriously, I *believe* this 
should work as written on Jaguar.

         a = objc.runtime.NSMutableArray.array()
         a.addObject_(o)

The assertEquals() is checking to see if valueForKey() is returning an 
array of values when invoked upon an array of objects.   b is just an 
array of the expected values.  That is only one item is because whoever 
wrote the test [me] was lazy.
