Hi John!

I have a fix, which was tested by NOAA. I did not include it in GE
2011.11 because I did not expect that many people are building
clusters using OSX (most clusters have migrated to Linux).

We are going to release a patch version for GE 2011.11 next year with
the fix - ie. a week or 2 from now!
