New submission from Aahz <a...@pythoncraft.com>:

On OSX 10.6/Snow Leopard, using platform.mac_ver() in a subprocess
created with fork() but not calling exec() will cause a crash with
USING_FORK_WITHOUT_EXEC_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_FILE_MANAGER

You may need to be also running in GUI mode.

Ronald Oussouren says that you can get the same info from
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
