Good question Ed, from what I know it was tested all over by most people
who use it.  The leak was tested and confirmed on the following that I
know of:

* Ubuntu Linux on Dual Core Dual 1.83mhz
* Mac OSX on Intel, not sure about PPC.
* FreeBSD (not sure which version or what processors)
* Win32 -- And it appears that Mutex works but Sync doesn't on Win32 so
we're basically screwed.
