I can't "verify" anything since I don't have an Intel Mac, but if you  
are using the Universal Binary for BBEdit, I don't believe Rosetta is  
capable of translating a dynamically loaded library for a different  
architecture. Have you tried running an older version of BBEdit, one  
that is PPC only?

Of course the whole arch. thing could be a red herring.
