It might be the text segments at the start.  Basically we need to see how
darwin and netbsd/macppc are linked and what they do that we don't (or
that we do and don't need to).  This is of coruse only my understanding,
from a dozen emails w/ adrian sun (I have access to an iMac, he
wants/wanted to fix it).
