I just spent several hours upgrading to leopard.

It works on my leopard system.

============================= foo.c =================================
#include <stdio.h>

main(int argc, char **argv) {
   FILE *foo = fopen("foo.c/rsrc","w");

   if ( foo == NULL )
      fprintf( stderr, "rsrc doesn't work\n" );
   else
      fprintf( stderr, "rsrc worked here\n" );
return( 0 );
}
======================================================================
Prints out "rsrc worked here".
