[sldev] XCode bug - please help figure out why

[Ben Byer]

Okay, now I finally understand what you're reporting, but I don't  
understand how those entries (or lack thereof) could lead to a  
segfault.  Can you get a stacktrace for the crash?

FWIW, once I remove those lines from the .pbxproj file, it builds and  
runs correctly for me w/ XCode 3.
