There's a problem with this software if you are running Mac OS 10.4 or
above: the "get the real pasteboard name" functionality dies with a
bus error. Unfortunately I found this by having my machine die and
acquiring a new machine with 10.5, so it'll be a bit before I can put
full time on sorting this out. The easy thing for me to do is to
publish an update without the functionality. Until then, disable it by
doing a 'make realclean' (or './Build realclean'), editing Makefile.PL
and/or Build.PL to comment out the lines

    $osvers >= 10.004
        and push @ld, '-DTIGER';

and rebuild. This is probably what release 0.000_02 will consist of,
when it gets made.

Sorry about that.
