Unfortunately, I do not have a real single processor machine anymore. My 
Atom based "netbook" (single processor, hyper-threading) comes closest. 
Maybe I find some time to bring it to a similar configuration. With the 
improved packaging list, I probably can just make a package...

Ok. If you think it might be improved in any way, you can send me an 
email and I will repeat my testing. Unfortunately, I do not think that I 
can do any real work like debugging.
