You're not the only one!  I had this happen to me, except in my case, it
interpreted one of my applications as some weird high-powered graphics arts
program that I never even heard of, let alone had on my disk!  I think this
is a bug in the compatibility checker... I think it checks by filetype/creator,
certain resources (Owner resources, etc.) and "vers" resources, and some-
times it screws up because certain manufacturers use the same resources/
filetypes as others
