Interesting, if that was caused by OSX disk layouts maybe some of the
bugs that were marked as dupes of it should be reopened. Or at least
the contents of the various bug reports re-examined for information.
The original bug I filed was marked as a dupe of that and I've since
put updates on that ticket but haven't been told that its not relevant
or to open a new bug.
