[IDV #FWP-228593]: Nightly build and Mac OSX

Thanks Kevin,

Sorry for the delay. I have been out for Easter break.

In order to better diagnose this problem, a few questions:

1/ For clarification, how do you start the IDV on OS X? (You refer below to the 
runIDV/runIDV.bat scripts.)

2/ Also, since I am not sure which nightly build you were running, could you 
possibly confirm this problem with the latest nightly build? (We went through 
many iterations, and I wonder if you have an old build.)

Thanks again,

-Julien
