Can someone volunteer to run a Mac OS X buildbot slave?  If not,
I'll try to set up an *old* iMac that the PSF seems to have
abandoned at ZC. :)

I'll update the buildbot setups to run all tests.

This is definately a bug that should have been caught on checkin.

Tim. we should set up a buildbot whachamajiggy (I have trouble keeping the
buildbot jargon straight) to run ZODB tests on checkin, so we can catch
these sorts of things sooner.
