We're having programming problems with Mac OS X.

First, Geomview works fine on Mac OS X, except when it is being controlled via a command pipe from another program, such as the Geomview module SaVi, at which point Geomview crashes hard and fast on program startup. This doesn't happen on any other Unix platform.

Second, while SaVi 1.3.2a works very nicely on Mac OS X, development snapshots of SaVi lock up on program startup, looping continuously while trying to draw the main window. Since this was reported by a Mac user and Macs are good at audio/visual stuff, I even have a movie of SaVi looping. This probably has something to do with the Mac's unique Aqua Tcl/Tk port, and, of course, doesn't happen on any other Unix platform.

I don't have access to a Mac. Sigh. Suggestions on what could be causing these odd Mac problems appreciated.
