Sounds good to me.  What should we do with 64 bit io on *nix?  64 bit io 
is listed as a feature of FB1.  I have the *nix code ready to go, it 
just needs to be tested.  Is it worth adding now, or waiting until the

I'm assuming be critical you mean engine/data loss.  How is the bug 
tracker doing?  Is is clean enough where we can use the groups/priority 
to find critical bugs?
