Okay, so it looks like --no-select should be the default on MacOS X.
Based on the output of "gcc -E -dM - </dev/null" on your machine, it
would seem that we can detect MacOS X systems by checking for the
presence of __APPLE__ and __MACH__.  I just patched the configure.ac
file so that autoconf should now do just that, and make --no-select the
compile-time default for MacOS X.  Can you please confirm that it's no
longer necessary to specify the --no-select command line argument by
hand with tcptraceroute-1.5beta2?

Hmm.  Earlier you included a traceroute to 24.163.210.43, which was one
hop away.  Is that the address of your local machine, or the address of
a NAT device external to your MacOS X system?  If it's an external NAT
device, I wonder if it could be interfering with tcptraceroute.  Can you
please try executing the following commands, and sending back the output
from each?

	tcptraceroute -q1 -d 127.0.0.1
	tcptraceroute -q1 -d 24.163.210.43
	tcptraceroute -q3 -f30 -d toren.net
	traceroute toren.net
	telnet toren.net 4242

Thanks,
