 * I no longer test 10.4, it's not practical in terms of turn-around time when
trying to chase Darwin2x to hold it up for Darwin8

 * However, the policy for Darwin is that we do not deprecate old OS Versions,
but OTOH when things are not tested they bit rot
 * I realise that for some hardware 10.4 is the end of the road (and actually
it was a very solid OS revision, i used it for field data collection for a long
time)

 * If you want to make progress, and help keep it alive, then the best way is
to test regularly - in this case you need to bisect to find what change caused
the problem - and hopefully that will suggest a patch.

 * Patches to fix Darwin8 that break or limit Darwin2x are not likely to be
useful.
