There's something wrong with the way it's linked together.  The  
Python framework doesn't have its headers rewritten, and I'm not sure  
what the heck libbz2 is doing in there.  This isn't the official 2.4  
distro, is it?  I've never seen it do this before.

Unfortunately, I don't really care about 10.3 anymore, so there isn't  
much more I can do for you...
