When I compile the app for MacOS 8-9 (instead of Carbon) it runs fine.   

I've tested it under 8.6 using Carbonlib 1.3.1, Carbonlib 1.4, and Carbonlib 
1.6 and the Carbon version of my app always fails when it attempts to open the 
database.

It appears to be the combination of OS 8.6 and Carbonlib and Valentina.   
It's not "just" Carbonlib 1.6, because it works fine in OS 9.2.2.   It's not just 
Valentina and OS 8.6, because the PPC compiled app works ok.

I asked this in my earlier post, but no one has responded yet: is anyone 
running a carbon-compiled RB app using valentina 1.9.7 under Carbonlib 1.6 and OS 
8.6?   If so, then at least I'll know it's something specific to my own 
configuration.
