sope doesn't compile anymore with gnustep-base trunk. When I take a

guess, it may
also be available on Mac OS X, but I've no possibility to check that
out, at
least googling NSZoneMallocAtomic only finds references to gnustep and
libFoundation.
I'm writing here, because of my research now, I'm not perfectly sure
whether
it was removed intentionally or accidently.
The atomic malloc zone is a libFoundation/GNUstep specific extension.
It is not, and has never been in Cocoa.
It was removed intentionally ... I had no idea any code outside
GNUstep core used it, as the old GC code never worked fully for me,
but I received no bug reports from anyone else! Presumably the sope
code would simply work if you replaced it with the default malloc zone.
