Thanks a lot for taking care of this. There is one current bug that is
very annoying: when a transfer is going on, if one clicks on the
disclosing triangle (to see details about a folder, for instance), then
Unison crashes. I had tried to track down that bug but did not go very
far (as I don't know much about OS X debugging).

I'll gladly beta test your version, if you need testers.

Best,

Alan
