   Vince, like it was discussed on FB, Andrew is taking care of this.

   Again, I came up with a few suggestions for how to get around the minor   
   annoyances - Andrew's on it.   
      
    VC> How many CPU's are you running and with what architecture?   
      
   I'm running one emulated Debian/S390x which is basically IBM z/System.   
      
   Fun part is that whilst int = 32 bits, pointers are 64 bit.   
      
   That's where the (void*) <-> (int) WILL cause crashes. But it's a fairly   
   trivial fix and limited to two minor utilities: MBSE runs fine after some   
   hackery to the files that look for your CPU type and gives up.   
      
   Again, nothing time-critical but Andrew's on it.
