The problem is probably specific to OSX and the way InfoURLs are handled.

I think this is partly due to a bug in CreatePlanets() in the Celestia core code. What's happening is, for solarsys.ssc, CreatePlanets() is prepending a "/" to local URL's, and of course this is only valid if the file is actually in root. I imagine this problem affects the Linux version too.

I just updated, after Chris Pre 3 announcement, and the bug is still there. Is there any hope of a fix?

Yes, we'll take care of it for the next prerelease.
