Hi Jeff !

I've had exactly the same problem a few days ago !!!

The only difference was that I'm using Win2k and Debian Woody
Somewhere on this list I encountered a message about this problem where 
someone sayed that it's solved with the latest beta.

The explanation of this problem is quite simple:
Runnig unison -version (with a 2.9.20) on the Debian box reported 
something like - hey I'm not running on a MaxOSX !
When starting unison the other pc seems to be asked about his version of 
unison.
And instead of 2.9.20 the string - "Hey i'm not running on a MacOSX - 
2.9.20" or something like that returns.

So I grapped Ocaml from their website (the link can be found in the 
unison manual)
and because I was curios I compiled ocaml from the source without any 
troubles.
Since I don't want to use the latest betas I downloaded  the source of 
2.9.20.
Somewhere in the source (I don't have access to this pc at the moment) I 
encountered the message mentioned above.
I removed this output and compiled.

Well and since yesterday i'm using unison 2.9.20 between a win2k and 
debian box.

Hope it helps,
Hubertus
