Mac OS X and Linux

I could be remembering the details incorrectly, but I think there is a bug
in switch mode in 1.0.3 such that no traffic passes if more than one node is
running 1.0.3.  Try 1.0.2 or the latest version in subversion.  I think Guus
is just waiting for enough people to say that this is fixed in svn (he
doesn't use switch mode much) and he will release 1.0.4.  Or maybe I have
that wrong so I shouldn't speak for him.
