It is a known bugs and there is several threads with the solution. Use the executables from http://brie.ostenfeld.dk/~poul19/public_files/oa/dev080/serverfixFor080.zip

sorry for wasting peoples time.

it turned out that i had downloaded and installed the .deb package for ubuntu, and it did not support the patch. [it used modified .bin executables in system directories]

i got the original .zip and i see the 2 executables .i386.

i applied the patch and everything works fine
