This bug is old and the disk images it was originally reported against were produced using the crusty old packager.  Even so, errors like this are almost always caused by a truncated or otherwise corrupted download or a problem with the DiskImages framework on the end user's computer.  Marking WFM because this type of thing really hasn't been a problem since the new packager landed - a year ago.  If you have trouble with disk images of Firefox 1.5/Thunderbird 1.5/Gecko 1.8 or later, open a new bug and Cc me.
