Update on Mac Intel Testtool problem

As both projects should be well aware, testtool on the Mac Intel platform is 
not functional since OpenOffice.org 2.0.4.  I decided to track through builds 
provided by Maho Nakata from the branch of for 2.0.3, which was m169 to where 
the testtool stopped working.  The first available build that I could locate 
was m174, and testtool did not work in this version.  I obtained from Maho, 
m172 and m173.  In m172, testtool was fully functional.  In m173, it was not.  
I am now in the process of doing a code level compare to find out where the 
problem is and to effect a possible repair.
The major question is why the delay and now the sudden urgency to effect a 
repair?  The version from OpenOffice.org 2.0.3 will become obsolete next month 
and thus this version will not be testable past that point, and thus no new 
OpenOffice.org 2.2 for the Mac Intel.  Although this is a small segment of 
OpenOffice.org users, it is vital that we maintain the number of Mac users of 
OpenOffice.org as the Mac Intel platform is growing in the number of users.  
Also, without a viable testtool for the current version, this program may not 
be usable for the Aqua project.
Further statuses will be made available, and I am asking for assistance in 
resolving this problem.

With many thanks.
