Can you attach to the hanging application and show a backtrace? It is best to dlopen bundles however if you find that dylibs work and bundles don't then just ignore the dlclose error.

Currently this application runs on 10.3. I did some research on the Internet before posting, and I ran across a web page which indicated that even on 10.4, unloading dynamic libraries is still not supported. I wanted to review that web page again, and I have been unable to find it. I haven't bothered trying to debug the hanging program yet, as I haven't had the time to look into problem. Switching all the libraries from dynamic style to bundle style is time consuming as there are a lot of libraries and it take a long time to rebuild on my system.
