LSMinimumSystemVersionByArchitecture is being ignored

I am trying to deploy a 3rd-party framework with 64-bit support for
Snow Leopard as a Universal Binary.

The problem is that on 64-bit Intel Macs running Leopard, the 64-bit
code is executed, but the code is not compatible with Leopard (as
there were missing Apple 64-bit APIs at the time).

I tried defining the LSMinimumSystemVersionByArchitecture in the
Info.plist in both my test application and my framework, but it is
being ignored. The 64-bit code path still launches on Leopard.

	<key>LSMinimumSystemVersionByArchitecture</key>
	<dict>
		<key>x86_64</key>
		<string>10.6</string>
		<key>i386</key>
		<string>10.4</string>
		<key>ppc</key>
		<string>10.4</string>
	</dict>


As an experiment, I also tried changing the values so I could force
32-bit on my Snow Leopard machine so I didn't have to keep finding a
Leopard machine. I set the 64-bit value to an OS version that doesn't
exist yet:

	<key>LSMinimumSystemVersionByArchitecture</key>
	<dict>
		<key>x86_64</key>
		<string>10.6.5</string>
		<key>i386</key>
		<string>10.6.0</string>
		<key>ppc</key>
		<string>10.6.0</string>
	</dict>

This also fails to work and my app always launches in 64-bit. (Both
via Xcode and the double clicking in Finder.)

Am I using this property correctly?

Thanks,
Eric
