IIUC you're saying you tested this on a 64-bit x86. That is in fact not yet supported. With Oren's patchset, you can only use x86_32. (With the patch I sent last week, you could also do s390x.) Support for x86_64 shouldn't take much work - I think Dave was going to see about such a port, and Oren may have one at the ready, but you could also do it yourself if you're so inclined. -serge
