Something about .drawsting method it doesn't like .  Commenting out
that line made the tests run fine.  My version actually raises the
exception *itself* when using .drawstring and a different Font or color
is called for.  Not sure why your crashes.

Piddle looks very good, but these little gotchas give me pause.  Anyone
else have any luck with Piddle on a Mac?
