this code can be very machine specific, it's doing weird things to the 
cpu stack. I may be able to get access to an x86_64 machine, but it 
won't be for a while, so if you can debug it, please go ahead :-) The 
first thing to check is if config.h has STACK_DIRECTION defined to the 
correct value (should be -1 I assume). If not rerun configure 
--with-stack-direction=-1 and see if that makes a difference
