It should work when configured properly. It works for me, maybe we could find
more people to test that - there seems to be something we do different.

Sounds likely, but someone needs to add that feature. As noted, I'm going to
take a look at it when I have time, but it'll take a while.

Still a danger, just pointing that out. Did you make sure it is 32bit and tried
different versions? No idea what versions they uploaded there.

I don't blame you, but I'm afraid there's not much more you could do unless you
want to fix it yourself. We already have a pretty detailed error case thanks to
you.
