What should I be looking out for? I tried this out (the test suite, that
is) on a powerpc running darwin8 and it worked fine. darwin has changed
quite a lot from version 8 to 9, and i think those changes are to blame.
although i can't test this, i assume it'd work on an intel mac running
darwin8 as well.

happened.
