I don't know what this means (aside from the obvious that it's a linkage  
problem). I found a number of references to similar problems, mostly I  
think with new(er?) versions of OSX, but nothing definitive. It's a  
problem, so please do file a bug with Curb, but if anyone can shed any  
light on this issue I'd be most appreciative.

Cheers,
