Thread-topic: Custom plugin crashes with RB2006r1
Hi David,

Thanks!  That solves the compile crash problem.  Also, the problem I was
having in RB 2005r4 seems to have gone in 2006r1.  Here's the problem I was
having before:

This is no longer a problem in 2006!

I look forward to being able to use dylibs again, mind - makes live much
simpler for debugging :-)

Thanks,

Dave.
