Comparison WTF's

I'm currently using XCode 3.1 on my OS X 10.5.4 macbook. In one of my
projects, I was having trouble comparing what should have been two
identical strings. After accounting for any encoding issues, hidden
newlines, uppercase 0's looking like 0's, etc, I spliced into my code
the simplest test case and ran it through the debugger.

NSString *stringOne = @"0";

NSString *stringTwo = @"0";

BOOL stringsEqual = [stringOne isEqualToString: stringTwo];

The value for stringsEqual repeatedly returned NO.

I then created a new foundation tool project that only contained that
exact same code, and ran it through the debugger. stringsEqual
repeatedly returned as YES.

I also tried some integer comparisons (int firstInt = 1; int secondInt
= 1; intsEqual = firstInt == secondInt); In my original project, the
tests returned NO. In my quick test project, the tests returned YES.

Has anyone experienced this kind of weirdness/corruption before? I
know that XCode files can occasionally get corrupt, I've never seen
corruption go this deep. I could probably solve the problem by simply
creating a new project and re-importing all my files, but that's a bit
of work I'd like to avoid, plus I want to figure out the solution so I
know what to do when/if it happens again.
