Yes, that's what it sounds like. The stub is an older PPC one, and OSX
has been nicely relaunching it natively for ages. InstallAnywhere is
not the cheapest (nor the greatest) product so I didn't see the need
to spend 1000's of dollars on upgrading it.

It'd be great if someone could confirm that whether this is an
accidental bug in 10.5.5 or on purpose.
