Nick,

I agree that the "bad" commit does not look likely to be the problem, but I 
verified it by checking out the previous commit, which does not show the 
problem. I'm quite sure that PowerPC has a lot of quirks and glitches beyond 
those caused by the Apple hardware.

I have tested the change and I will submit the patch.

Thanks,

Larry
