depending on the OS version, you may need to download to latest
version from... I don't remember, but if you search the R-SIG-MAC help
list you can find the website- I had this same problem and it was
fixed with the help of the wonderful folks on the sig list.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
