It's -my- code.  Not anyone else's.  Ergo noone else to blame.  Mesa (last
I checked) works fine.... but it's been a bit :)

not not not not what I'm looking for.
*sigh*

Guess I should have been more specific:
	I'm just stuck on how to setup error handling in Objective C (or
just plain C).  Exceptions are perfect but I haven't figured out how to
patch egcs to allow exceptions anywhere outside of C++.  Returncodes would
work - providing I'm not trying to return, say, a handle to a datatype
that could error out.  Or a floating-point value.  This is a long story
and I shouldn't have asked about it (sorry).  Global variables don't cut
it (not thread-safe).

G'day, eh? :)
