There are a few more 64 bugs that I'm aware of and haven't filed yet, 
too.  I was taking my time for a combination of reasons:

1.  Going from a 1k line file with a failing unittest to a decent test 
case is tedious work and I only have the patience to do maybe one a night.

2.  I think a lot of the failing unittests in my code may be symptoms of 
the same bug.  If I wait for one bug to be fixed before filing another, 
I can avoid a lot of wasted work.

3.  I was under the impression that if I went any faster, I would no 
longer be the bottleneck.

4.  If anyone else is heavily testing the 64 compiler, they may stumble 
on an easier to reproduce version of the bug.
