[Luis]

Hiya,

Could it be possible they've run an app that strips UBs of the non- 
native side?
I've seen a package that does this but I can't recall it's name at  
the moment.

I'm wondering if, once this is done, it leaves the non-native  
external as there is not a native alternative, but if the app is then  
told it can run as native (not via Rosetta) then the non-native  
external causes the mentioned problem.

Cheers,

Luis.
