Hi Bob, Thanks for the extensive feedback. It sounds to me like the package was able to be opened and seemed normal, so I'm calling that a success!
Combined with the other feedback, I'm going to say, Wayne, we can make a 4.0.3 for OS X. Let me know when it's all ready, and I can generate a new one and get it uploaded. Thanks everyone! After that, the nightlies will resume too, and Simon Wells and I will continue on the "Getting our OS X builds signed" work, which looks more and more important each new OS X release.
