In the subject of Rosetta, does anyone know the answer to this problem?
We have a customer who is finding that our app is sometimes hanging
on startup on an Intel iMac. She is running under Rosetta (even
though our app is universal) because she is using a firewire camera
for which the manufacturer has not yet made Intel drivers available.
Frankly we were amazed that the camera worked at all, but that is by
the by.
Normally we would get the customer to use Activity Monitor to sample
the application so we can see where it is hanging. In this case
though, the sample just returns Rosetta code, not the PPC code it's
executing!
Does anyone know of a way of sampling a Rosetta application?
Cheers,
Steve.

The answer is not very smart. There are some applications
that do not run at all under Rosetta.
The authors of Rosetta believe that the ability to
handle exceptions such as memory protection violations
need not be suported.
There are applications that do need to handle memory
protection violations and other exceptions in a "precise" manner.
