I finally sorted out the cause of a crash I was getting when the cadabra test 
suite was run on 10.5 PPC.  I captured some logs of the crash, and sent them to 
the cadabra author.  He determined that the root cause was something fouled up 
in my GMP installation.   Rebuilding GMP fixed the problem.  

Meanwhile, the cadabra author has made a number of fixes, some of which address 
issues that were reported to him by OS X users.  I committed the fink package 
for cadabra 1.20 yesterday.  It should work on 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6, although I 
have only tested it on 10.5 PPC and 10.6 Intel.
