Well, this is one of the minor issues I have with the ppc architecture, 
but I am quite happy with it. Even for this I could make a workaround, 
but I guess this is something that other might stumble upon.

I would like to move to powerpc, but for the moment there is no official 
support for powerpc, for ppc there is, but I don't have the time to move 
this to powerpc. So I am afraid I don't have much choice.

Kind regards,
