As it happens, I was just checking this when your mail arrived.

Turns out there is either a TeXShop/Framework bug lurking on 10.5, or  
I'm confused.

If I switch default scripts (and click OK), the change does not seem  
to take effect.  Only after I exit TeXShop and restart does that happen.

Now, if I restart TeXShop between settings, I get the same behavior as  
on 10.6: with 'Pdftex', it fails the same way on both; with 'Tex+DVI',  
it succeeds on both.
