This problem appears to be due to the peculiarities of the linker under darwin.

I am unable to reproduce this here with Gorm 0.11 using gcc 3.4.3 on Linux.   I
will make another release of Gorm in a few days.  Please go ahead and file a
bug for this so that I can track it.

In the meanwhile, please try the most recent CVS of Gorm.  The code in the
palettes and GormCOre has been refactored, so you might have more luck there.

Thanks, GJC
