FWIW, I dug into this a bit and found that the problem was that the xdelta file format includes information telling xdelta how much memory it needs to allocate in order to read in the patch structure -- and when allocating space for objects that include pointers, this is obviously going to differ between 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. This seems to me like a pretty fatal flaw in the file format; though I'm not sure if this warrants removing the package from the release (i.e., an RC bug).
