Ian, thanks. Well, I guess having portable platform is a nice goal, but 
hard to achieve; we also have some problems with MAC FF users. BTW, we 
support now also Deer Park. We'll try to debug the problem you found on 
FreeBSD, sorry and thanks.

Many thanks for the text below, we'll adopt it...

Best, Amir
