Yes, I guess it's broken on mac too. And I asked Stephan
one hour after this happens to re-release them. Fixed eggs
are on the way.

But note if you need a stable version it's a bad idea to
depend on new eggs. You will not get into trouble if you
use a KGS. That's what the KGS is for. Broken eggs can happen
like any other thing in development. Released eggs are never stable 
by default. I told that since we started with the buildout and 
egg concept. Because the egg build and distribution trak misses 
a test or stagging concept.

I have no idea what you did? Can you explain who you built the egg?
Then I can tell you what what's the difference between what I and what you 
did.
