The patch you provided seemed to correct the last of the consistently 
repeatable database problems under OS X. I ran into one database 
problem after applying that patch but was never able to reproduce it a 
second time.

The problem with building under OS X is limited to dynamic builds. Even 
without correcting that problem, a fully functional install under OS X 
is still possible with a static build. As such, I don't personally see 
this issue as being any sort of show stopper. If it becomes a common 
issue, we can always add a FAQ. There is also still an issue with 'make 
check' under OS X, but again that doesn't seem like it should be a show 
stopper. I will continue to look at the OS X problems as I find time.
