Your are welcome :) I usually keep notes during investigation of bugs
and append them to my patches. This keeps my train of thought
transparent and makes it easier for others to follow along or spot
obvious errors on my side. However, it can get a little bit noisy. So
let met now if i should "keep it done" more.

Yes, but this problem exits for 32bit builds in general.

Good to know.
