[Mulgara-general] Spanning multiple disks

[Paul Gearon]

I'm on a Mac as well.  I can run Mulgara on 1.5 or 1.6 without problems.

I *will* warn you that if you try running the full set of tests on 1.6
then a couple of tests will fail. This has to do with some of the
javax libraries in the 1.6 JDK, and only shows up in a single
rarely-used module. I've looked into it, and it's a bug from Apple's
end. This is one of the reasons why 1.6 isn't the default JVM.

Anyway, it won't affect you, but I thought I'd let you know in case
you run the tests and wonder what went wrong.
