Ok, so it definitly is the missing "stripping phase" ;-)))

If you have the time, it would be great. If you rebuild from scratch anyway,
please use the latest patch from www.phlo.org. The bundle is now named
pgAdmin3.app (to please Dave ;-) ), and I'd like this version of the patch
to be committed to cvs. I you manage to test it first, I'd be gratefull.

I compiled wxwindows as shared lib, since there were some wx-mac bugs until about
15 minutes ago, which I wanted to be able to debug... Some kind fellow
from wx-dev provided a fix today, and the other problem was fixed a few days ago.

I don't know of any other wx bugs influencing pgadmin, so I might switch back to
a static lib...
