Create an empty directory somewhere on your Mac (e.g. /var/tmp/debug) and
download these two files:

http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/bugs/mac_os/test_for_double_destruction_csh
http://cci.lbl.gov/~rwgk/bugs/mac_os/test_for_double_destruction.tar.gz

Then

chmod 755 test_for_double_destruction_csh
./test_for_double_destruction_csh

This should unpack the tar file (contains boost, scons and some of our
code) and compiles, links and runs one of our regression tests.

On our Mac OS 10.2.? (? = 1, I think) with the Jun or Jul developer's
kit + Aug patch the output ends with:

Total OK: 1300
a_value_allocation: -12

The last line indicates the double-destruction problem. If you don't
see the last line there is no such problem.

Please let me know how it goes.

Ralf
