Ok. We've even gone so far as to a reformat and fresh install. This is on a mac mini (2011 server edition), upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.4, with Oracle Java 1.7.0_25 installed. I've searched and found one old thread about something similar, but nothing that helps resolve this. Any assistance would be appreciated. Here's what a grep for "jenkins", in /var/log provides. (More info below as well)
