Cocoa and modality (was: modal over modal)

For the record: Kyle is right, I didn't bother to read the code. The
bug I was thinking of has to do with nested modal sessions. I was
triggered by the keyword 'modal' because I have encountered numerous
problems with modal sessions and modal windows. That part of Cocoa does
not seem to be the best tested, maybe because the HIG frowns upon
modality. I would like to know if others have had similar
experiences...
