That is definitely the problem to debug then.

I do not have access to a Darwin machine.  I am not sure who does.
Can you debug this further?

But I *did* address the message directly to you and the mailing list.
I don't know why you would think that I had not done so.  My mail logs
show that message sent to mail.gentoo.org[140.211.166.183] and queued
as message 60C31653D5 at Dec 3 04:22:27.  But if that message did not
reach you then I see no reason this message would either since they
are addressed the same.  Sorry but that is another problem for you to
debug.

That is okay.  I don't need a CC since I read the mailing list.
