I Created a build from SVN checkout of Spine (main) last night.
Building the Code to executables works fine, but I get the following runtime errors:

, SPINE: Poller[0] FATAL: MySQL Error:'1054', Message:'Unknown column 'device_id' in 'where clause'' (Spine parent)
, SPINE: Poller[0] FATAL: MySQL Error:'1054', Message:'Unknown column 'device_id' in 'where clause'' (Spine parent)

Building spine from the 0.8.7.e Branch do not lead into this error.

But If I build from the 0.8.7 branch I get massive errors on deplucate entries.

Another Problem depends on your system architectur (I am talking about your windows box):

For the guy who are interested in spine performance between spine 0.8.7e and 0.8.7f:

247K of DS
F:
SPINE: Time: 32.5552 s, Threads: 100, Hosts: 289

E:
SPINE: Time: 32.1308 s, Threads: 100, Hosts: 289

No change in performance when running ./spine -R
