Hi,

I think you may be facing the same problem as me. Try to
download "Dumpster" from the apple site, and see if you can read
the "moov" entry. If not, then you will need to do manual editing to
the file.

For the "Dumpster", you may need to join the ADC (Developers)
site to be able to download.

Regards.
