Mingw: suspicious message

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

when running DataBasin on mingw I get the following message:


warning: 2011-08-23 12:32:40.959 DataBasin[4124] WARNING your program is 
becoming multi-threaded, but you are using an ObjectiveC runtime library 
which does not have a thread-safe implementation of the +initialize 
method. This means that any classes not already used may be incorrectly 
initialised, potentially causing strange behaviors and crashes.
To put this into context, the runtime bug has been knoown for several 
years and only rarely causes problems ... the easy workaround being to 
ensure that any classes used by a new thread have already been used in 
the main thread before the new thread starts.
If you are worried, please build/run GNUstep with a runtime which 
supports the +initialize method. The GNUstep stable runtime (libobjc) 
and experimental runtime
(libobjc2), available from the GNUstep website and subversion 
repository, should both work.
To disable this warning (eg. for an application which does not suffer 
any problems caused by this runtime bug), please set the 
GSSilenceInitializeWarning user default to Y¿}k☺ð}k☺

1) I don't get this message with NetBSD, howver there I use gcc 4.1.x 
and not 3.4.5 as on mingw. both use the standard gcc runtimes.

2) what worries me more are the trailing random characters: default to: 
and funny stuff :)
