Maybe this is a difference between the OS version that I use (10.3.9)
and the one that you use, but my /.hidden file contains mach,
mach_kernel and mach.sym. I would think that if you eliminated
everything in the /.hidden file, then you wouldn't be seeing mach.sym.
On my system mach is a symlink pointing to mach.sym.

Also, if these differences are due to differences between our OS
versions, then you'll probably have to account for that in your
software, too.

Good luck,
Will
