On the new intel-based iMacs, and Mac OS 10.4.5, MoreSCF doesn't seem to work correctly under rosetta. I have a problem with this line of code:

err = MoreSCNewSet(userVisibleName, &newSetID);

My SetupTool (running as uid 0) crashes.

OK, I've tracked down this problem (or one of them) to a call to SCPreferencesPathGetLink. At least, this is one problem I can't get around because it's in the SC framework itself. The inputs look OK and are the appropriate type. Here's the pertinent bit of the crash log:

Is anyone from Apple reading this? Is this an Intel Mac problem or a 10.4.5 problem? Is MoreIsBetter/MoreSCF still a viable option or do I have to fillet out the bits that still work and hack around the rest? I realize this is sans-warranty code and am quite grateful that it was there and worked as neatly as it did. However. Now it's causing me to spend a lot of time I don't have to fix stuff that wasn't broke (and ran happily on the test intel macs, which is why I didn't allocate a lot of time to maintenance for this.)
