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. :-)<br>
