Sounds like it could be a bug in the API (or the application). NSBundle -mainBundle should return where ever the application is currently located. If it is moved, it should reference the new location. It is possible the application developer is caching this value or that Cocoa is caching the value (when it shouldn't be, or if it does it should be using an FSRef internally as NSDocument does).

The main bug is that a user can move his own home folder or rename the home folder to just change the case. That should be denied no matter what the case (because it never updates NetInfo and path comparison doesn't always seem to be case-insensitive on volumes that are).

- is this a bug in the API?
- is this a bug in the Application itself even-though it's just using the recommended APIs?
- is this a bug in the Finder and Terminal: an user should not be allowed to move an application while it's running?
