What would be that setting if I want the default behavior?

Is this "merge candidate let-me-impose-my-workflow-on-you" merge
a single step or does it also checkout as
the default behavior: fast forward local origin to remote master,
merge local origin to local master, check out master?

I'm swamped.  Did you say you have no 64 bit machines you can try it on?
Also, I don't mind giving you my dev tree, but currently I don't export
it anywhere.  BTW, I've seen this bug on 64 bit machines.  I've not tried
it on 32.
