[gambit-list] gambit, iphone, and LOAD

Hey, folks.

I'm using Gambit on the iPhone.  There's one thing I can't get working
on it, and that's the LOAD procedure.  I've heard reports that you
can't load dynamic libraries on the iPhone, but I can't find any
documentation about it.  Besides, LOAD doesn't work to load in raw
scheme code either.

When my application attempts to use LOAD in an app running on the
iPhone simulator, it simply crashes without any messages (both when
the file is compiled and not).  I'm not sure how to debug this, and I
was wondering two things: do you use LOAD on the iphone?  is there
anything in LOAD which I should look at when running Gambit on a
different platform than usual?

I think loading dynamic libraries should work in the simulator.  And
EVAL definitely works, so loading in raw source should work too.  I
just looked around the Gambit source and everything around these two
mechanisms seems fine.
