Last Friday, we started getting 78 tests failing on krondor and midworld, two old Macs we have here at Kitware running OSX 10.3.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Failing test list for krondor:</div><div>

<br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>These are the files that were updated for this build:</div><div><a href="http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/krondor.kitware/Darwin-c++-carbon/20080222-0300-Nightly/Update.html">http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/krondor.kitware/Darwin-c++-carbon/20080222-0300-Nightly/Update.html</a></div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>For the life of me, I do not see which of these changes might have caused these tests to start failing on that day....</div><div><br> </div><div>For the test "expCos" (and many of the others have similar output) the following output is emitted when a vtkRenderWindowInteractor is created:</div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><pre>ERROR: In /Users/kitware/Dashboards/My Tests/VTK/Filtering/vtkDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 686

<pre><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: normal; ">And then the test crashes on line 65 of Graphics/Testing/Cxx/expCos.cxx because "input" is NULL...</span></pre>
<pre><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; white-space: normal; "><div>Any clues why this might have started happening on this day? To the best of my knowledge, nothing changed on the machines other than updating the source tree every night...</div>
