The SenTestingKit.framework included with Xcode 3.0 is built GC-
supported, so it's not at fault.  However, the otest test rig that 
runs unit test bundles for frameworks is *not* built GC-supported in 
Xcode 3.0.

To run tests for your framework, you'll need to build your own test 
rig, and then tell Xcode to use it in otest's place.

You should be able to build your own test rig by just creating a 
simple command-line tool that links Cocoa.framework and 
SenTestingKit.framework, sets the SenTestTool user default in the 
registration domain to YES (which indicates to the framework that a 
test tool is being used), and then calls through to SenSelfTestMain. 
The SenTestTool user default and SenSelfTestMain function are declared 
in <SenTestingKit/SenTestProbe.h>.

To tell Xcode to use your test rig instead of otest, just set the 
OTEST build setting to the path to your test rig.
