You could have unarchived it but OK for a new bug anyway.

Well, I'm not sure the endianness is the (only) problem:
0.30-3 (powerpc) (latest build at Sep 7 15:19: maybe-successful)

And I can't reproduce the bug on my iBook (PowerPC, G4), by opening this
file and rendering it.

Using the art/mkmarbles script is also OK.

According to the first bytes of the file, it looks like is has last been
saved with blender 2.44, so it *should* be portable (according to what
upstream considers portable…) accross platforms. I'll report that on an
upstream mailing list.
