[Sparkle] 10.3.9 Report - Still Crashing

[Andy Matuschak]

Thanks for the detective work; that's interesting. It looks like the  
bug's occurring on line 32 of NSWorkspace+SystemVersion.m, where I'm  
trying to find the system version. Nothing there's unsupported on  
Panther as far as I can see. Would you mind running it in the debugger  
and checking out what the heck's going on? I don't have a Panther  
machine I can test on.
