Ok, I get it.  Call me ignorant, but I had no idea what Darwin was.
Your response gave me enough of a clue to do a search on the net and
uncover the fact that it's probably a Mac operating system code name
or component or something.   I found this on an Apple site which makes
it sound like Darwin is a code name for the Unix kernel.

     Mac OS X also marks the debut of true preemptive
     multitasking. Darwin, Mac OS X's underlying code, constantly
     analyzes your computer needs.  It works on processing tasks on the
     background. But when you receive an e-mail or have an urgent need,
     Darwin will allocate processing power to your immediate tasks.

As you can probably tell, I'm not too familiar with Mac's.  Anyway,
thank you!
