If no one runs on a 64-bit platform none of the bugs of 64-bit systems
will be found. That being said I have the misfortune of currently
running on a 64bit system and yes there are lots of bugs, and I only
just got a version of java that worked, etc etc etc. I haven't tried a
64-bit compile of Octave yet though :-)
