Magma is not broken. I thought from 30 minutes of testing that Magma 
depended on WriteBarrier to operate, since I noticed it pulled in a copy 
when I was grabbing it from the repository, and as I noted, WriteBarrier 
does not work out-of-the-box on 3.8. If Magma can run without WriteBarrier, 
then just ignore me. Magma itself at any rate seems to work great, although 
I wish there were more documentation. :-)
