I'm working on a short animation ATM (school project), and noticed 
something too - I've animated everything with my own Amd64 build. I 
wanted to render my animation using 32bit machines also, but on opening 
some of my files I get a segmentation fault (amd64 works ok). This might 
be related, dunno, could also be related to some linking problem.

If you like I can send you a file or two for testing, when you need it.

Cheers,
Mats
