I've only ever used 64 bit versions and have yet to encounter bugs related to the 64 bit builds.

I'm doing fine with F17-64, JACK, various softsynths, etc. SC/gedit
appears to work, but I haven't actually tried it out. Using a normal

iForth/fJack; fJack is an interesting JACK symbiot. vlc fits into this
suite nicely.
