Obj-C in a dylib

This may be OT, but I'm sure where to ask...

I'm trying to build a MATLAB MEX-file (a dylib I think) that uses the MacOS X Foundation, CoreFoundation and IOKit frameworks. The MEX-file builds and (mostly) works okay. But I get a crash when the MEX-file is cleared:

>> clear all
>> mtune init % mtune is my MEX-file
>> clear mtune
objc: cannot unmap an image containing ObjC data
Trace/BPT trap

The top of the crash log stack looks like this:

Thread 0 Crashed:
0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x9083be80 _objc_trap + 0
1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x9083be14 _objc_fatal + 0x48

7 libmex.dylib 0x000b9248 mexClearMexFileDefault + 0x48
8 libmex.dylib 0x000b8b38 mexClearMexFile + 0x30

I think the basic problem is that MATLAB doesn't use the Obj-C runtime but my MEX-file does. Evidently the runtime does not like to be unlinked by NSUnLinkModule.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Here's the way the MEX-file is linked in Xcode 1.2:

StandaloneExecutable.LinkUsingFileList /Users/tom/apps/MTuner/build/mtune.mexmac
/usr/bin/gcc3 -o /Users/tom/apps/MTuner/build/mtune.mexmac "-L/Users/tom/apps/MTuner/build" "-L/Applications/MATLAB/bin/mac" "-F/Users/tom/apps/MTuner/build" "-F/Users/tom/Library/Frameworks" -filelist /Users/tom/apps/MTuner/build/MTuner.build/MATLAB.build/Objects-normal/ LinkFileList "-arch" "ppc" "-Wl,-no_arch_warnings" "-bundle" "-Wl,-flat_namespace" "-undefined" "suppress" "-framework" "CoreFoundation" "-framework" "Foundation" "-framework" "IOKit"

Thanks,
Tom
