So this type of bugs or incompatibilities hardly happen on the Mac port. I think this is important to make the code "maintainable" with minimal effort. That also makes it possible for Mac port users to find bugs that are common to most platforms, and for a developer of the port to contribute back to free systems by proposing common fixes or improvements.
