A LiveCode Linux implementation's Bug?
Could Mark Wieder or Monte Goulding spot this difference
in the source code?
Probably this implementation difference
affects other areas...

I though that common core of LiveCode functionality do not
rely in third party libraries. 

Who could report this in the Quality Center?

Thanks in advance!
