The lesson here is:

- ignore dashboard failures for the BundleGenerator test on Mac machines
unless it is happening consistently build after build after build

- also ignore any test failures that contain references to a failed run of
"hdiutil" which fails sporadically -- only consider it a real problem with
the CMake code if it happens consistently

If anybody can actually figure out a good way for us to work-around or
really fix these issues on the Mac, so we never see sporadic failures as
build/test problems on the CMake dashboard, I'll gladly buy you dinner!!


Cheers,
David
