I may be talking out my, uh, hat, here - but I see this sort of thing all the time on Linux. The problem is that GCC isn't *just* GCC, it's GCC plus a set of libraries. In particular, in my day-job we run into incompatibilities with binaries and certain versions of libc all the time. Sometimes you see a crash, more often you just see odd behavior on a particular machine and it can take weeks to realize the problem is in a mismatched shared library and not your code.
Unfortunately, if I'm right the problem is a mismatch between the gcc 3.3 that's included in XCode 2.0 and the gcc 3.3 that's actually installed on your 10.3 box. I know for a fact that Apple released multiple builds of 3.3.
