Can you confirm that this only happens on single-arch systems? The attached patch seems to fix that (but I only tested with the included testcase). As its trivial it should be possible to get it into a point-release. I would say its a good idea to raise the versionnumber non-the-less for all the people who are naughty and don't follow point-releases. And its more correct / less confusing, as its not an completely bogus idea to strip :any in single architecture environments. It has no meaning there anyway, right? ;) Best regards David Kalnischkies
