Summary: Rel 3.1.1 to Run on Windows 7 64 bit

Initial Comment:
Bug ID 3405740 has been open for 7+ months now with no resolution in sight. I do realize that this may be difficult problem to find because of it's randomness and the actual bug occurs long before it is detected. Releases 3.1.2 thru 4.1.0 (32 & 64 bit) have all demonstrated this problem. Release 3.1.1 does not seem to have the problem and runs fine on my 32 bit OS. Unforunately Release 3.1.1 does not run on Windows 7 64 bit OS due to Bug ID 1630937. This was fixed in 3.1.2. Is it possible to get a special version of 3.1.1 (32 bit) with just the 1630937 fix?

I have yet to get my Windows 7 64 bit machine to live up to it's potential because I cannot get a reliable version of ooRexx (either 32 or 64 bit) to run on it. I need to use ooRexx so that I can replace existing applications that run on my 32 bit system that do not run on Windows 7 and their authors have long since disappeared into the woodwork. These applications do extensive work with file/folder structures for entire drives that should be available using SysFileTree. And in fact I have been able to successfully emulate their functionality using ooRexx apps running on Release 3.1.1.

I am willing to work with whomever to make this happen. I just don't have the OS experience level to implement the fix for 1630937 on my own nor do I know where to start. I also realize that any result would only be a 32 bit version of ooRexx.
