Depending on the combination of VM sources, internal vs. external 
plugin configuration, other plugins that are active and the version of 
Darwin that you are running, you might be falling foul of a "feature" 
of the Mach-O dyld stuff that fails symbol lookup when more than one 
external dynamically-loaded "image" contains the same symbol within a 
flat namespace.

I put some pyrotechnics into the 3.7b sources to fix this, and a couple 
of days ago (at the request of Bert F) backported it to the 3.6-3 
release (updating only the source archive and Darwin/OSX .tgz and .dmg 
binary archives in the process).  Before wasting any time on searching 
for bugs in the bridge code, I'd suggest downloading the latest VM 
sources and recompiling everything.  It might just be that your plugin 
problems vanish; if not, at least you'll know that symbol lookup in 
plugins is working reliably on Darwin before embarking on any further 
debugging.
