Building Standalones with Panther/Tiger

I'm building an app that uses AppleScript to control an FM Pro 
database on the same machine.  I'm not using any external or special 
resources of any kind.

When I double-click on a Panther-built copy on a Tiger machine the 
dock twitches briefly as if it's about to show the program icon and 
then nothing.  If I build the standalone on the Tiger system and 
double-click again it opens normally!

I get exactly the same effect the other way round on a Panther 
system, i.e. trying to run a Tiger-built copy.

Both the Tiger and Panther app packages contain:
    Contents
       Info.plist
       MacOS
          AssessmentCapture
       PkgInfo
       PlugIns
          coreimage_support.bundle
       Resources
          Revolution.icns
          RevolutionDoc.icns

and the file sizes are identical.

If I run my Rev stack from within Rev itself, it works identically, 
without any problems, on both Tiger and Panther.  It's only as a 
standalone that I get this behaviour?!
