I do not have the time to try that but thanks this looks great.
By any chance did dan gave you his fix? The last time I saw him he told  
me that while doing the 64bits port
he fixed a lot of problems and since then I tried to chase him so that  
he released these fixes.
So when 3.8 is officially out I will restart, but you could help me  
there :)
