Thanks!  I had some success doing this.  At least the application now
crashes slightly later during the initialisation process.  Immediately
after startup, it loads several .dfsl files.  It crashes during my
first Objective-C class definition:

(defclass application-controller (ns:ns-object)
  ()
  (:metaclass ns:+ns-object)) 

While trying to load this top-level form, I get:

Could this be because I load .dfsl files containing Objc classes and
methods at runtime?
