Re: Please test the latest developer's snapshot

[Ben <ben dot alkov at gmail dot com>]

Just wanted to drop in a note saying that I've tried the snapshot on
RTM Vista x64 on AMD, and I had no luck, either freshly installed, or
with rebase/rebaseall. I tried rebaseall with ash, but got the usual
Vista-related errors. I tried running rebase against ash, and then
rebaseall again, but still no joy. All of the above I ran using first
0x70000000 as base, and then 0x65000000.

Hope this helps!

Ben
