My bet here is that if you build yiyus or ron tree and force 32-bit, it will fail on a 64-bit system, no idea why. if you build with 64-bit on yiyus tree, it will work.
In other words, I think the issue crops up on 32-bit 9vx on 64-bit environments. At least that is how it seems to work. I'm still not sure a length limit on the string of 1 Gbyte makes sense, and I have no idea if 64K is too low, but the 64k-limit patch does make it all work. I'm going to try to apply it tomorrow and see what shakes. ron
