Thanks a lot, Kevin, for this precious information!  I suggest that the 
upcoming release comes with a special note "for 64 bits architectures" 
on the download web page.

I'm thinking to a FAQ entry: "I accidentally bought a 64 bit machine at 
the weekend.  Can I run Mozart on it?" ;-)

Cheers,
raph
