Me too but I've not been as lucky as you with the "no quirks thing".
I've got a handful of releases that were "winners" but also a few that
were the opposite with weird bugs in them.

Don't know if that applies in this case (could just be a dodgy build or
even dodgy RAM in you machine etc.). There is an interesting issue e.g
on PHP with GCC 4.2 whereby if you compile with -O2 you get some bad
maths errors (this may be a MDV specific issue but it's the kind of
thing that can seriously mess things up :s)

Anyway, this is off topic now so I'll shut up :p
