Well, care to send in some diffs (or at least pointers to what needs to
be fixed)?  The Party Line (as I understand it) is that Pro64 is written
in standard C++ but if the reality doesn't live up to it, well,
maybe we can fix that.

Shrug.  If you apply
http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000-132.html
I'm not sure it is as buggy as the rumors say.  But I don't think we've
been
using it for Pro64, so I'm not sure there is any particular reason to go
with that version.
