Starting a dylib from the plugin

Question

Hello,
i have the following problem:
I have a dylib created with qt.
I can easy start this from my plugin under Windows and use it quite nice.
But on the mac the following occurs, after loading and all work well
and also my dylib starts (it is creating a little Window) InDesign CS3
drops the error:
MenuMgr::UpdateMenuForDisplay asked to update nil menu?
But well i did not use the menu i simple open an dylib.
Any ideas what this can be and how i can solve this would help me a lot,
because at the moment its a little mystery for me.
Here is a code snippet i use:
void *my_plugin = dlopen("libname.dylib", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL);
typedef int (*func) (wchar_t ** &szchar);
func f1;
f1=(func) dlsym(my_plugin, "Suche");
wchar_t ** DAT=NULL;
f1(DAT);
dlclose(my_plugin);
So my dylib starts but after that error:
MenuMgr::UpdateMenuForDisplay asked to update nil menu?
Also the Indesign Window menu seems destroyed ^^
Thanks in Advance
Ferdinand
(ahh and there are several reasons why i must open a dylib so a window
in my plugin does not help me)

Hello,
thanks for the reply´s.
Well, no Hans-Juergen at the moment i am still searching a solution.
Yes this error comes also when i only create a simple qt dylib with only a messagebox.
So i tryed if this also appeirs when i don t use qt.
I created a dylib with a messagebox under carbon and baeng that works.
So it seems Indesign don t like qt ^^
But this will be to bad because in that case i must rebuild all
what i have done in windows also in carbon again....
Thanks for your reply also Dirk.
Well normaly my dylib should not effect Indesign (but well sure the
problem is it does) because i load the dylib extern its not compiled in the plugin, but well sure it shares the memory with the plugin.
The event Handlers should normaly not give a signal to Indesign because its extern or things under mac must work completly different to windows and how i know them.
Yes the only way will be i think to capture the event in my plugin,
but at the moment i have no glue where to place this.
Any other ideas maybe ?
Normaly i would say ok it don t works with qt, but it does it so nice under windows ....
