     Finder 6.0 has a bug regarding the information returned by the
extended version of tellFinderGetSelectedIcons. The icon height and width
were incorrectly calculated, and in the interest of being cautious, it's
recommended that the code to return these values be disable with an
Apple-supplied patch. This is only an issue if you use the extended
version of the request.
