Like Jordan said :)

Please file a ticket and we will get this fixed in 0.9. Bugs breaking 
applications are considered as a priority.

I think 0.9 should remain 32/64 bits, but the release after may drop 32-bit 
support (unless people really need it). I can add a note in the 0.9 release 
notes and then we can see if people complain.
