I'd test it as well.  I have been running a 64 bit version of 3.2 that
I built following ref [1], and it works well, but was not successful
in getting the new release to work the few times I tried to build it.
If you just need a server to throw up your files, let me know, I can
probably dig one up...
cheers, Darcy
