I found it, and added a fix to NSBundleAdditions.m in the gui  
library ...
It was asking for the bundle for the NSApplication class, and trying  
to load from that bundle.
Previous to the NSBundle fixes, the call to bundleForClass: was  
returning nil, and the nib loading code fell back to using the main  
bundle of the application.
I've modified it so that, if the nib/gorm file is not found in the  
bundle for the class, it tries the main bundle of the application as  
well.

What I don't understand is why the problem didn't show up when things  
were built with debug=yes ?
