Unit tests no longer working after XCode upgrade from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4

Question

Hi everyone,

I have just updated my XCode to 3.2.4 and it turns out my unit tests are no longer working. I have configured a target and executable following the instructions from Scott Densmore so that I'm able to debug my tests.

I did change the Base SDK to iOS4.1 for my test target (LogicTests) and updated the path to the otest script for my executable (otest).

However, even though my application runs in the iPhone simulator, executing the unit tests always crashes. Here's what the console has to say when I try to run the tests:

I'd appreciate any help you might be able to offer! Thanks in advance.

Totally just ran into this, too. Found I could get my tests to run by unchecking the DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE environment variable. Seems to cause some awful problems. If I learn more on why, I'll post about it.
