Comparing NSDictionary woes

Hi

I'm trying to compare two dictionaries and am getting [dict1 isEqualToDictionary: dict2] = NO when they are exactly the same. If I NSLog each dictionary cut, paste their descriptions into separate BBEdit files and do a diff, BBEdit says they are identical.

Next, to mimic that behavior, I tried comparing dictionary descriptions like so

if ([[dict1 description] isEqualToString: [dict2 description]])
	NSLog(@"dict1 and dict2 are equal");
else
	NSLog(@"dict1 and dict2 are not equal");

But even that only works about 40 percent of the time. Is there any reliable way to compare two dictionaries short of defining custom compare methods for every plist type?

Thanks for any help

Ken
