NSFileManager - isExecutableFileAtPath - seems to lie

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the somewhat unreliability of
NSFileManager's isExecutableFileAtPath: method.

It seems to return YES for *any bundle* (including frameworks) and
.webloc files.

It returns NO to aliases to Applications and to at least one specific
Carbon App (Sim Express (http://www.idexpress.fi/simexpress/))


Does anyone have any idea of how to accurately identify a path as an
application?

Digs.
