Your June 1 predef changes have not been picked up by the latest VMD 
tests for Android and Oracle C++ yet. Should previous changes have fixed 
the problem I was seeing in those tests ? If not I still have to wait 
until the Android and Oracle C++ tests with your June 1 changes cycle. 
The VMD tests on QNX are now working correctly even though your June 1 
changes were not picked up there yet.
