Comment(by mijk):

 It is obvious that Vidalia is the cause of the problem. If is latest
 Vidalia compiled different way, why not to compile it again - the same way
 as it was compiled for TBB 2.2.35-5?

 Since 2.2.35-5 for OS X, running Vidalia via command line ends with
 following:
 {{{
 $ ./Vidalia
 dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
 Trace/BPT trap
 }}}

 extended:

 {{{
 $dtruss ./Vidalia
 dyld: unknown required load command 0x80000022
 SYSCALL(args)            = return
 getpid(0x0, 0x0, 0x0)            = 6946 0

 32 0
 write_nocancel(0x2, "and 0x80000022\n\0", 0xF)           = 15 0
 }}}

 Errorlog (above) is from the latest release (TBB 2.2.35-8 32bit,
 downloaded from
 https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/osx/TorBrowser-2.2.35-8-osx-i386
 -en-US.zip - a location, that isn't linked anywhere on the Tor site).

 I am using above mentioned workaround, replacing distributed Vidalia.app
 folder with old one (last working from 2.2.35-5), however - it doesn't
 seems to be the right way to solve the issue (using outdated Vidalia in
 the new bundle)...

 And another question: is this problem persisting for OS X 10.6 and 10.7
 users or is it only 10.5.8 anomally?
