Summary: 
@encode(long double) and @encode(double) both result in "d", when building for 32-bit x86.  But a long double is not the same as a double.  sizeof(long double) = 16; sizeof(double) = 8.

Steps to Reproduce:
NSLog(@"sizeof(double) = %d @encode(double) = %s", sizeof(double), @encode(double));
NSLog(@"sizeof(long double) = %d, @encode(long double) = %s", sizeof(long double), @encode(long double));

Expected Results:
if sizeof(long double) != sizeof(double), I expected @encode(double) to be distinct from @encode(long double).

Actual Results:
@encode(long double) and @encode(double) both were "d".

Regression:
Unknown.

Fixed at latest Mac OS X 10.6.4

On 2010-08-16 I ran a test and @encode(long double) = 'D' on Mac OS X 10.6.4. I'm not sure when the bug was fixed. I'm not sure where it's fixed, since I haven't tested any iOS devices yet.
