Pulsar tools
From Masa: "We fixed a bug in the pulsar tools infrastructure, which has been reported by the FSSC programmers in their effort of porting Science Tools into 64-bit machines. It is (supposed to be) fixed in the late version, although Release Manager reports some minor problems, which I think I can fix soon."
