Josh,

Thanks for the comments. 'SmalltalkImage current listLoadedModules'  
does not include my library. Since the code runs on other platforms  
(Linux/Windows), I think that the address could be found. Also, the  
handle is nil when I inspect the object. Interestingly, the  
#forceLoading method does not report any error--even if I give the  
wrong name!

GciLibrary new forceLoading handle. "@ 16r00000000"
FFITestLibrary new forceLoading handle. "@ 16r0028C830"

James
