I've been using gdb and it really does load the symbols as modules are
dynamically loaded.  I didn't know about the fb command, though, this
sounds way-cool and will be a real big help.

I've been using NXBundle quite a bit lately on a project that I've
been working on, and its been working pretty well.  However, I'm
thinking of dropping back to using objc_loadModules since I can get it
to create the debug file.  It would be *real* nice if there was a way
to have the NXBundle class make an object file as it loads modules.
While running a program under gdb works most of the time, if you get a
core dump, you're pretty much hosed trying to debug it
