Thanks for that.

These tests were run on a Mac (the client), right?

I think the assertion failure in testcommon is harmless. It's probably 
just a small timing issue. If I had access to a decent Mac I could 
probably fix it, but my macbook has a broken keyboard which is pretty 
annoying.

I think the other tests all failed because of a "leaked" file descriptor 
opened by syslog(). I don't think that's a real problem, because only one 
file descriptor is opened and it will be reused by any subsequent syslog() 
call. If it is a bug, it's in Mac OS X and not in Box Backup.

So it appears that the client is fine to use on your Mac.

Cheers, Chris.
