    What is the difference between the various x86_64 versions? I chose
    the itimer one for my tests. The threaded one is the "run external
    calls in their own thread" vm?


No.  The "threaded" one uses a separate thread for generating the
heartbeat.  The timer one uses a signal-based interval timer.  You want
the threaded one.  The signal-based implementation causes havoc with
external code.

Thanks. I've also found the instructions for allowing the threaded one 
under Linux.
