Already done hours ago. ;)

Yep. Definitely seems so.
Meanwhile I ran a new test with another tool: Lightcrafts Lightzone 3.9
Et voilà: Everything is fine and works as expected too.

Hmm .. this get's a little bit off topic and since I really don't want to start 
a "which tool is better" discussion I try it with this:

As a software engineer, I prefer to find real solutions than just workarounds. 
The worst thing that can happen is, that we all can learn something from this 
(maybe even the folks from Cupertino). ;)
Besides that: Being able to test all the profiles with different tools doesn't 
necessarily mean that they are installed on my own computer and that I always 
have access to them.

When I find some time tomorrow, I will start to dig the web to find out, if 
this Aperture-Profile-Problem already caught other people with their profiles 
and profiling tools.
