I know we found some problems compiling stuff and after a lot of research
discovered the compiler that comes on the RaQ2's is buggy. We contacted
Cobalt about this and they admitted to knowing the compiler is buggy and
said a fix was in the works, but nothing has ever appeared. You could
perhaps have the same problem on your RaQ3.
