GNUstep apps crash on launch (this reports: TextEdit crashed with SIGSEGV)

[Eliah Kagan]

Binary package hint: textedit.app

This occurred on maverick 10.10 (64-bit), with version 4.0+20061029-3build2 of the textedit.app package.

In /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications, I ran:

open TextEdit.app

TextEdit began to launch, but then crashed. I can reproduce this bug, and it occurs with all the GNUstep apps in the my Applications directory. This also occurs when launching TextEdit.app by executing /usr/bin/TextEdit, which is (installed by default as) a symlink to /usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/TextEdit.app/TextEdit.

As far as I can tell, I am unable to run any GNUstep applications.
