Erk ! :)
It seems that I can't open a file saved with a 32bits version.
Hmmmmm. I told you I didn't try very hard. :)

Didn't reached this one yet. But, I had similar problems long time ago
with a 32bits official release of OO. Why should we bother by now ?
People know that it's _unstable_. :)

Right, but isn't it time for an alpha-release to get more people
involved in the bug fixes ? :)
Anyway, I totally agree with the decision of Rene on NOT to put the
amd64 in the default. It is definitely too early.
Thanks for your help and thanks to al the people from OpenOffice for
their wonderful work on the 64bits port.
