Thank you *so* much for putting in the effort.

Right, same results here.

Whoa. I'd like to try that, but for some reason I thought it was
tough to build libxslt an OS X. On more careful reading of Steve
Ball's page, it requires changes to source to build *as a framework*,
but that's certainly not necessary for this test, if ever. So I'll
try that now [building in background ...]

Did you try with Steve Ball's pre-built binaries?

Indeed it might. I'll start poking around and blathering more about
my system if the upcoming tests also fail.


I'm still building in the background ... libxslt needs a newer
version of libxml2, of course, so I'm working on that now.


Thanks again.
