NSScanner difference between OS X 10.1 and Jaguar?

I've been having a problem with my program on Mac OS X 10.1, and it's
kind of bizarre.

My application does some parsing of command line output, and on Mac OS X
10.2 Jaguar, it works as expected.  However, under Mac OS X 10.1 (which
I just tried for the first time today), the things that are displayed
are totally different, and totally pointless for my application's
purpose.

Things that don't use an NSScanner, but just parse by splitting strings
at certain characters to make arrays work and display correctly, which
leads me to believe that there is a change in behavior of an NSScanner
between Mac OS X 10.1 and Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar.

Does anybody know any specifics about the problem and what steps can be
taken to make NSScanners work the same way on Mac OS X 10.1 and Mac OS X
10.2 Jaguar?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
