Nope.  It comes in (only if I make with debug=yes) all by itself.  If I 
make without debug, it's a simple sigsegv.

Nor that.  Not one of my classes has a +load.  About the only thing I 
can think of is that it's a threading issue.

I put some debug printfs in NSProcess|nfo, rebuilt and installed base 
(sigh - 200Mhz machine), and watched it happily do +load and parse argv 
and argc.  But when It got to +initialize, its local argc and argv were 
mysteriously empty, which is suspicious.

Maybe I'll build everything (again) with threading disabled and see 
what happens.  Unless you have any better ideas.
