I had seen the problem you mentioned, but had not realised it was due to
an ABI problem. I have started to track it down and it's not
inconceivable that the next scrollkeeper version will just detect the
difference at runtime if possible. The problem is that it is hardly
unlikely that scrollkeeper is doing something untoward under the covers.

I shall poke at this a bit more and see if it's a problem of using
non-public APIs or something. Thanks for narrowing it down a bit more.
