I have not tried to get IC working on OSX but there was discussion
before about segfaults on BSD using the latest IC.  I thing a change to
bin/interchange caused the segfault to no longer happen.  You should
search for segfault and bsd on the IC list to see where that takes
you...  might be a similar situation.

Good luck,
