Hi Bob,

Thanks for the extensive feedback.  It sounds to me like the package was
able to be opened and seemed normal, so I'm calling that a success!

Combined with the other feedback, I'm going to say, Wayne, we can make a
4.0.3 for OS X.  Let me know when it's all ready, and I can generate a new
one and get it uploaded.  Thanks everyone!

After that, the nightlies will resume too, and Simon Wells and I will
continue on the "Getting our OS X builds signed" work, which looks more and
more important each new OS X release.
