PGE build leads to assertion failure on MacOS X?

[moritz]

masak reports (but can't do so directly, because trac does an infinite redirect loop for him) that r40656 broke the build on MacOS X:

I had no problems building or testing Parrot on Mac OS X 10.4, Darwin/PPC, at the slightly later revision r40664.

Replying to jkeenan:

I had no problems building or testing Parrot on Mac OS X 10.4, Darwin/PPC, at the slightly later revision r40664. kid51

I should have added: See  this Smolder report.

Is this problem persisting? I cannot reproduce it on OS X 10.5.8 powerpc or x86.

[jkeenan]

Moritz/Masak: Can we get an update on this problem?

If no one can reproduce it I believe we should close the ticket.

I think we can close this ticket as unreproducible.
