RE: Amaya on Ubuntu x64

Just to confirm that the 9.5 release (which is the "official" Ubuntu
version still) is stable on Ubuntu 64-bit. I would be happy to test the
new release (I have a 32-bit and a 64-bit running here) when I get a
chance, but my offer is not intended to deny anyone else that
pleasure...
