I tested the binary released version and my own compiled version. I
have been trying to compile the version that is patched to the latest
official release but so far I've been having trouble getting that
compiled.

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. My understanding is that the UltraSQL
patches are likely to go into general release when the source goes
7.4/8.0.
There is at least one show-stopping bug which I believe is related to
the shared memory emulation. I am almost 100% sure that the bug is in
the win32 side and if still present will carry over to the latest
release.
I offered to help find and catch it: but before I spend the time to do
that I'd like to at least know if the problem has already been
addressed. I was responding to the call for capable developers to help
test upcoming patch, posted on this very list about two weeks ago. I'm
not asking for support but trying to help.

Sorry to bother,
Merlin
