I will try to reproduce it at work where we have various machines with all kind of host CPUs, so I might be able to find the issue. I will also forward this problem upstream. > I do not believe the issue is related to the kernel version.

Where did you get hold of 0.6.5? Upstream just has 0.6.4 on his website [1] and I couldn't find 0.6.5 anywhere on the web. Cheers, Adrian > [1] http://chw.populus.org/rub/7 -- .''`.
