I haven't experienced this, but it's disturbing to hear. Do you think 
the same problem would exist with a "hello world" external, for example 
would just set a transcript variable to the string "hello world"? I ask 
because am wondering if your external is running into System API 
differences or DLL clashes of some kind?

Sounds useful if you have platform-specific externals, as you mention. 
Maybe also useful to save memory and/or speed up startup time for the 
app!
