OK, this

gets through the unit tests although with slightly odd results

SUnit Results
-------------
3272 run, 3251 passes, 19 expected failures, 1 failures, 0 errors, 1 
unexpected passes

Failed Tests
------------
(AllocationTest selector: #testOneGigAllocation) debug.
(LocaleTest selector: #testLocaleChanged) debug.

Errors
------

(I saw 18,1,0,0 on your 2673 I believe.)

In any case I very much appreciate your assistance and hopefully this is 
enough to let me get on with the rest of 'all the things'.
