I've been working off-list with the submitter to track this down.
I'm not convinced that the installer is to blame, but I'll increase the  
authorization level of future installers to avoid problems with faulty  
ownership/permissions.

In the process, we discovered that the binary won't run properly on  
pre-10.3 systems due to stpcpy not being available on those systems.  
That is a problem when building on 10.3+ and deploying on previous  
system versions. This is now handled by the installer creating script I  
have by removing HAVE_STPCPY from config.h.

I've only had a single bug report, so the pre-10.3 to 10.3 ratio seems  
to be  1/3500 judging from the number of downloads...

I could create a new installer, and someone with the appropriate powers  
could then put it on the d/l site.
