I could already compile Tracker and Deskbar around a year ago. BeIDE
also runs for quite some time - you could have had this experience
months ago, even if it probably gets better every day :-)
As Stefano already indicated: there are several bugs that prevent us
from really being self-hosting. There is also a missing feature in the
memory mapped files implementation that prevents this from working well
(you should not overwrite an application while it's running right now,
as the app might not be completely in memory yet).
Bye,
