Hi Eric,
Thanks for working on this, and giving me time to run some tests :)

Here are the results on the platforms I have access to. When
comparing to 1.4.12, I used identical compilers and flags on 1.4.12
and this 1.4.13prerelease. I have full logs of all builds, and will be
happy to provide more details or rerun individual tests if that is
useful. Unless noted otherwise, even with the errors I'm reporting,
this pre-release is in equal or better shape than 1.4.12 on these
platforms:
