Developer has been informed - I hope it can be fixed as there is nothing else similar in the field.

A workaround is to run the program as root either in the terminal or get the freeware program Pseudo. Just drop PT onto the Pseudo window and it runs as root, problem solved.
I suspect that the latest version of PT is, in fact, Tiger-compatible. Check it out.
