[Sparkle] 10.3.9 Report - Still Crashing

[Brian Webster]

This looks like the same problem I was having when I tried building  
Sparkle 1.1 using Xcode 3 and deploying on Panther.  See:

Basically it looks like there's something weird with the linker on  
Xcode 3 that causes crashes when running Sparkle on 10.3.  The really  
strange this is that Sparkle is the only code I ever had crashes with,  
all my own code compiled and ran fine.  There's nothing obvious in the  
Sparkle code as to why it would have a problem where other code  
doesn't though.  My workaround at the time was to build Sparkle using  
Xcode 2.4 on Tiger, which worked fine, and then build the rest of my  
project with Xcode 3.
