[Lachlan A. <lh...@us...>]

Greetings Jim,

Attached is a hack which explicitly stops the recursion in OS X.  Does=20
it work?  (Neal, would it be better in one of the other functions in=20
the loop?)

I don't know why a different OS should crash in a different place. =20
Does OS X support  pread?  Type  man pread.

Are you having any luck with the other errors in  'make check'?

Thanks!
Lachlan
