They do? I have no experience on 64 bits. I'll have to try this app in this 
test partition.

Ah, noted, but unfortunately, they are old apps that will no way compile, not 
even on 32 bits 11.0:
they produce tons of syntax warnings. I'm forced to use the binary I compiled 
years ago on 7.3 or
thereabouts. I also need some -compat versions of libraries.

I need to investigate this.
