The only thing I can think of is that the C++ stuff (GUSI) isn't initialized 
correctly.

Make sure that __initialize is set as initialization entry point (in the 
linker preference section in CodeWarrior) so the C++ runtime gets a chance to 
initalize. See the PythonStandalone or PythonStandSmall projects for examples.
