The call to Gestalt in the cited install script is not compliant with the currently exported interface for Install.Gestalt. Docs for 4.5 reflect that an out param (long*) for response would be filled on return. In Mozilla, the method sig will be: int Install.Gestalt(String selector); where the returned int is the response value. If the number is negative it reflects the OSErr value returned by the native Gestalt() we call. Per Gestalt Manager docs possible returned err codes are: 0 No error -5550 Could not obtain the response -5551 Undefined selector Note that the noErr value (0) will be masked by the response if the response is in fact valid. An example install script using this API can be viewed at: http://puma/xpinstall/test/gestalt/install.js The corresponding jar exists at: http://puma/xpinstall/test/gestalt.jar and can be triggered from the testcase pulldown on the trigger page: http://puma/xpinstall/test/trigger.html (tescase = Gestalt CPU Type)

Amongst the problems with this API we were calling ourselves recursively (and due to lucky circumstances were not looping infintely). We are now calling the native ::Gestalt(). The four char code extracted from the selector string passed in was not being cast properly. We are ensuring this through direct bit manipulation now. Fix checked in.
