 I'm referring to that menus that will flash up on my retina (if I got the
meaning right). ;-)

 Anyway, it looks like some additional checks and possibly fixes will be
needed for 64-bit configurations (including changes to my pending
patches).  And last time I checked 2.5.x had showstopper problems for me
elsewhere (IDE -- I still use it here and there) -- I doubt they have been
fixed in the recent 2.6 -test releases.
