If I understand correctly what nmedit -s is supposed to do, it does two 
things, one visible and the other one invisible (except when it leads to 
crashes):

The visible part is that is transforms external symbols into private 
externals, thus rendering them inaccessible from the outside.

The invisible part is that it makes sure that other parts of the library 
that need this symbol still have access to it. And this is where I 
suspect Leopard's nmedit fails. But I don't know how to test this 
hypothesis.
