The only reason I made that change really is because that's how I built
VTK, it reduces compile time a bit, and I think the OS zlib is more
likely to be current than VTK's zlib (witness bug 5445).

All that "$UNIX2003" stuff still makes me think it's a 10.4 - 10.5
mismatch.  You said you are using the 10.4 SDK is both cases, good; but
are you sure your 'deployment target' is the same in both your VTK build
and SimpleCocoaVTK build?

The Release configuration of SimpleCocoaVTK is Universal (ppc & i386),
but the Debug target is not, it is only 'native architecture'.
