Lou. I am glad that you found success!
I guess this shows that any time you virtualize anything, there is the potential that the interpreter layer introduces unexpected behaviour. Hard when you are a developer who is trying to make something work cross-platform / cross-version. I am yet to find a fool proof way to test on a single box (as I run on PC). A multiple bootcamp'ed mac box would seem the safest, as there is no virtualisation going on. Aran On Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 12:59 AM, Lou Klepner <[email protected]> wrote: > Good news!
