I'll post this so others can disagree with my interpretation of your
problem, if necessary.

I think you've confused "changing the default library this image
expects to find source and byte code in" with "change the applications
that are loaded into this image." You are getting all the error messages
and the EOF problem, as you suppose towards the end of your message 
(the snipped part), because your _image_ contains definitions that
aren't defined in the library. This won't change until your image
is loaded with only stuff in the new library (by starting from a
different image or, if possible, unloading the undefined applications).

What you need to explain is _why_ you are doing this.

Hope this helps, if there is no additional commentary, I will take
further exchanges into the email domain.
