Things change fast with the amd64 development. Thererfore I will start the
virtual server again and try to get actual information. Sorry the response 
was a bit emotional and empty. Regardless, the code and methods I'm using
will be placed on my server at <calyx.nl> for all to see and improve. Actual
problems with amd64 (if still so) will be posted here. In either case I will
announce the availability of this rather unusual adaptation of the FreeBSD
jails here. I would like to see it 'ports' with the production release. It
will work with amd64, but last try was disappointing.
