Cars: Radiator Springs - Error & Fix

THQ's Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures

The game will install and run fine from the same account. If you install it on one account and want to run it on another, you will run into problems. The program will launch, go to a black screen for a few seconds, then dump back to the desktop. The console log reveals:

Cars(2213,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1627389952) failed
(error code=3)
Cars(2213,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
Cars(2213,0xa000ed88) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

My Fix:
I went into /Applications/, and changed all the permissions to
read/write for all (chmod -R ugo+rw Cars.app). Now the game works
for all users.

I've Emailed the developers asking if they could pin-point which file within the .app specifically requires the permission change.
