Good question, and that produces an installation that seems to show
more-or-less exactly the same set of problems, so this presumably is
BLODA. I'm slightly surprised it's BLODA that seems to only affect
32-bit installations – my 64-bit installation is working just fine –
but so be it; I'll continue to investigate on my end.

Thank you!
