Default Protools doesn\'t start up on new MiniMac intel, Imac Intel,.

Hello,

When I try to install protools 7.1.1 with update (ptle711_28603.dmg with ptle711cs2_31546.dmg) on my brand-new intel mini mac it does not start up. The protools icon in the dock bounces 2 times and then stops.

Now, when I investigate further and try to start Protools from the command line something strange happens:
I cd to /Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS; where the actual protools application is, and execute Protools:

***
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE
Illegal instruction
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$
***

"illegal instruction". It comes out even more bizarre when I tried fetching some command line options unix-style, thus with an added "--help":

***
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE --help
^C
***

It boots!!! However, it's not completely equal what I send as option:

***
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -s
Illegal instruction
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -b
Illegal instruction
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -s
Illegal instruction
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -fixthisbug
Illegal instruction
***

however:

***
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -test
^C
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -tesdd
^C
damien-vanderhasselts-computer:/Applications/Digidesign/Pro Tools/Pro Tools LE.app/Contents/MacOS damienvanderhasselt$ ./Pro\ Tools\ LE -[bleep]
^C
***
it all boots up protools!

No pattern, no reason, no options, just one hell of a misery!

And I'm only testing on my roommate's intel mini mac, while my intel imac & imac G5 give both no problems. I also saw it happening on another intel imac, and a new (black-metallic) intel imac!

Also: even more bizarre: a complete mac osx reinstall isn't solving the problem!

Please, please, more info on this bug. (well, I can actually boot protools using script editor, but, yeah, that's not really solving it is it?)
Thanks a lot!
