What version of V4RB do you use?
Try latest 1.9.8b8

Why you cannot live with PPC version of app for 8.6 ?

IT is known that CarbonLib sometimes glitches...
I can assume that in this case there is some incompatibility between it and
OS 8.6. You sure that Apple claims that CarbonLib 1.6 will work on 8.6?
