Thanks for the help. The culprit was a Palm OS library that was compiled on
Windows. Apparently compiling that kind of thing results in different
formats depending whether it is compiled on Windows or Mac. Once recompiled
on the Mac the problem went away. I am pretty sure this shouldn't be the
case (platform dependant binaries), but that's the case.
Thanks again,
Arthur
