I know, Robin, I read your post and your workaround. The problem I have is that a - for years (!) working and still supported (1) - configuration is suddenly broken, without announcement. And citing Jeff Mendoza "because OMSA is 32-bit only and there is also some natively compiled stuff that uses libsmbios" there might be a chance that OMSA (the "some natively compiled stuff") breaks with your workaround?
