Probably not.  The only reported issue on the desktop with 64-bit OS is 
a scripting error that checked the version using an old format.  Haven't 
heard of any other issues, none with the engine itself.

Dreamhost is my favorite Rev-friendly host.  I also have Rev CGIs 
running on Bluehost and TierraNet, but I do most of my work on my 
Dreamhost accounts.

I don't have a direct contact at DH, but their office isn't far from me 
so I could visit in person if needed. :)

Just curious:  Why did they make the change in the first place?  Did 
they indicate whether they'd be doing this to other servers, or were you 
just lucky?
