Good catch. I've applied your patch to the repository (r89).  someAlias.ResolveAlias and someAlias.FSResolveAlias map onto C functions with the same name, and the ones without 'FS' prefix aren't available in 64-bit code (not just in Python, but in C as well). 

Have I mentioned yet that the 'Carbon' wrappers in the stdlib suck?  <0.5 wink>
