I found the opposite, that the i386 version had lots of errors with 'cp' invocations. It turned out that it was my fault as I was accidentally using the i386 .tar.tbz when the machine I was using was in fact an x86-64 running in 64bit mode. So check your uname -a, is it i686 or x86_64? That said, the failure mode in this case could be friendlier and less confusing.
