[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Odd Mac OSX staff client weirdness

[Victoria Bush]

Sorry for the delay in replying; illness struck yesterday.

No, I have seen no additional resolution on this, but neither have I  
had the time to investigate this further. I am still using this  
cobbled version using SITKA's client with the build files overwriting  
the original files. This version works fine for me under Leopard and  
Snow Leopard *except* when I want to go into Local System  
Administration. Then it crashes, and spectacularly. I need to see if I  
can diagnose what the problem is, but I am not a Mac programmer and  
will freely admit I don't have much time to spend on this.
