This is almost 2-years old thread, but FYI:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man3/rbtree.3.html

See "IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS" section.  Apparently, Apple decided to change
the API i.e. the behaviour of rb_tree_iterate(3).  So, we are incompatible.

I guess the lesson is: if vendors do not communicate with us, we should
just go ahead with our changes instead of worrying about them.
