Yes -- this is a portability issue. Standard fare.

My staff tells me that all the time. Women tell me that too. I tell them
not to worry.

I'll switch to 1950s-mode and try not to bash on Apple too much.
I would ask you to consider thism, though:
- There are unofficial bacula binaries for Darwin / OS/X all over the
`net. That makes it highly plausible that other people have
most-likely already encountered, analyzed, and reported these problems
before.
When they end up getting stonewalled, they tend to horde local patches
instead of feeding them upstream.
I would ask the people from pixelchaos.net (Justin) and haught.org to
speak up.
Also, Happy Holidays to All!
