Actually, I think what's wrong is that dlopen is goIng pear-shaped when it tries to load the dSYM companion file.  This is a file that seems to be ancillary to libsmvgrammar.dylib, which IS a dynamically linked shared library:

$ file /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.dylib 
/usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 1 architecture: [x86_64: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 dynamically linked shared library]
$ file /usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.0.dylib 
/usr/local/lib/libsmvgrammar.0.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 1 architecture: [x86_64: Mach-O 64-bit x86_64 dSYM companion file]

The main library file I am trying to load somehow references libsmvgrammar.0.dylib, causing it to be loaded with dlopen and then I get the error.  But I can't see why it would be trying to dlopen() what seems like a symbol table.
