Thanks Michael :-)

We have a successful test - and two mac developers down (sigh!).  So
we are now sure it is the new Java version that caused this; as far as
I know Mac does not really provide release notes so we are going to
get a bit of a guessing game to determine what is wrong.

So my next question is ...
- are these failures because we are using temporary files? The
shapefiles are (I think) copied into a temporary file before we get a
chance to attack them with a test case...
- or has java changed its support for memory mapped files? (the kind
of thing we are doing with shapefile to make it fast)

One clue for me is that some of the test failures are due to checking
for a file that does not end up existing; perhaps Java is really
honouring the temporary nature of the file and not letting others
refer to it?
