Ah ok. Thanks for sharing that tip. Maybe Miller actually make  
the .app that way. That could explain why the CFBundleVersion tag in  
Info.plist still is set to 0.38. Side note: I think Marius found that  
to be the problem with newer versions not being the standard for  
opening Pd patches.

It didn't really fail. IT just doesn't assemble a .app - as Volker  
described.
