Xiaofan, Your statement is correct. Underlying the fancy GUI of Mac OS X is really a variant of the BSD UNIX operating system. So it is not terribly surprising that both Linux and Mac behave similar in this case. Based on past development experiences I have generally observed a problem cross-over rate of about 75% between the two systems.
Windows unfortunately is a different story! :) I haven't tried Spencer's patch yet. Unfortunately I had to veer off this effort for most of the day to go deal with another problem on a different project. I will hopefully get a chance to try it later this evening.
