I've tested (AFAIK) B48 a while ago in a fanatic attempt to get the
AMD64/64bit bits of ksh93 compiled somehow (due lack of AMD64 hardware)
... after seveal days of hacking/tweaking/cursing (and hitting "nice"
issues like Java HotSpot crashing etc.) the system was installed... and
then always booted in 32bit regardless what I tried... ;-(
