Sean,

Yes, been there years ago - maybe 2006. I could never get the 
full edifice working, so I extracted the parts that would enable 
me to just load a single .o file, and that would work most of the 
time, but then sometimes it would just crash.

Maybe that would work with today's runtime, but the machine that 
particular code was on got stolen, so I'd have to start from 
scratch.
