Good point. :-) However, if I run find on the LO "program" directory, filter all the files through 'file' and grep out everything with "64" in it, all that remains is ASCII, shell scripts, data files and a few PE32 (and PE32+) python executables that happen to be Windows .exe files that don't run on Linux.
I have not seen any of the problems mentioned in this thread, but I have not upgraded to 4.1 yet (waiting for 4.1.1). YMMV.
