Huhm, why is this? As far as I remember Rhapsody on Intel didn't have a problem (or acted differently than Rhapsody on PPC) sending messages to nil objects.

This is not a problem, just a different behaviour of *unsupported* code. Namely, using a return value of nil-sent if it happens to be a float. (Self-evidently, depends on the ABI for float-value returns.)


Actually, it remains to be seen what it does on Intel, for on PPC it *does not* do what the docs say :)))
