OS X standalones: 2 questions

1) Has the size of the OS X engine grown in recent versions? A hello  
world stack compiled with Rev 2.1 on Windows 2K results in a standalone  
size of:

2.06 MB Windows
4.43 MB Mac OS X (4.29 MB = executable, remainder is app package)

OS X builds have always been larger, but not 2.4 MB larger!??


2) The same hello world app: the windows standalone starts OK, but when  
I FTP the test.app folder over to my OS X box, it won't start:

Sep  3 16:22:20 localhost WindowServer[968]: ERROR!   
execle(/Volumes/scsi_internal_18G/alex/test_MacOSX_Standalone/test.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/Revolution) returned, err=22

Anyone else seeing this problem? I don't usually build on Windows- so  
if it needs to be bugzilla'd someone else should do it.

Thanks,
