Yes Boson 0.11 crash on AMD64. The problem is fixed on upstream svn but 
no patch will be backported. The problem is hard to trace and upstream 
team doesn't have time to do a patch.
If you do a patch a should be glade to apply it.

It works on Sparc64. I don't have another 64bit computer so i prefere to 
just remove AMD64 from the list. IMO it's a probleme with 64bit little 
endian.
