How do you force an app to run in 32-bit mode on 10.5?

And you did report the bug, didn't you?

Definitely, that's where I discovered them. I've actually not even had  
a chance to check them on 10.5, because the third one crashes the app  
before getting there. But from class-dump I'm pretty sure that at
