Hi Roger,

Thanks for reporting this.  I was just wondering if this is a
regression since 1.8.3 - i.e. a problem that we've introduced by
something between 1.8.3 and 1.8.4.

As far as I remember, the 1.8.3 Leopard build was blocked by "64" API
problems, but I think you managed to work around those.  If you can
still remember, did the build then complete?

If it did complete, I guess this must be a regression.

Regards,
    Neil
