And you are surprised by this?

I don't know why so many users buy an arch that didn't exist two years
ago and expect it to be 100% as reliable as 32 bit i386 which has been
around for 20 plus years. I see tons of bug reports where people don't
bother to mention that "oh, btw this is a mixed 32/64 bit environment"
or whatever.

When you make the choice to live on the bleeding edge, these things will
happen. If you don't like filling out bug reports stick with a 32 bit
machine ;-)
