I'm on Windows (64bit) and using Java7. Feel free to CC me on any bug
I can help testing. I know how to use debugger so I should be able to
provide a quick fix if it's a no-brainer ;)

I can't promise I will able to immediately response to urgent cases,
but if you give me a week or two and I should be able to at least do
some testing.

Cheers,
