When I run npm start, it fails indicating a timeout. (This is on a circa-2011 Mac laptop.)

I've rebooted just to be sure nothing else is running.
To rule out a race, I've increased the MAX_WAIT_TIME on line 21 of react-native/packager/react-packager/src/FileWatcher/index.js to as much as 2 minutes, but this doesn't resolve the issue.
I've installed node and watchman via brew:
Mike-Fikess-MacBook-Pro:~ mfikes$ brew list
node pcre watchman
and I'm running the latest version of OS X:
Mike-Fikess-MacBook-Pro:~ mfikes$ uname -a
