OSX 10.7 app corruption issue

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Terry,

Is the tester running from the memory stack? Tell him to copy the app to the application folder and try again.

I don't have`10.7 installed to test this out myself. Any ideas on what might be occurring (something to do with file access?) and how I should go about addressing it?
