David, 6.5.2 is pretty much ancient history for us. Some of the
problems you mention have been addressed in current sources, but
I'm not sure if they all have been. Perhaps you would have time
to pull down the current sources (7.0beta3, or a later nightly
snapshot) and see how it goes now. Diffs against current sources
would be useful to us, but I doubt that diffs against 6.5.2 would.

Those are pretty typical platform-specific differences.

Those all look like big problems, though. They might all have a
single root cause ... hard to tell from here.
