--browser flag for Safari on OSX tries to load file path

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issuing this command:

java -jar JsTestDriver-1.3.2.jar --port 4224 --browser 
/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

...Loads the browser successfully, but it tries to load a file path, eg: 

file:///FOLDER/PATH/TO/JAR/http:/localhost:[PORT]/capture/id/1310546478471/timeo
ut/30000/upload_size/50

This results in the following stack trace in the command line:

 Use --runnerMode DEBUG for more information.

...Before you ask, yes, you have to reference the browser using the full path 
to the executable within the 'app' bundle, which is also a tad annoying.
