[Apologies if this is out of date -- I'm currently massively behind on
 perl6-internals]

If this is with 64 bit IVs, this is the problem I hit a while back --
we're reading in 32 bit quantities from disc, but 64 bits at a time, so
everything goes completely pear shaped.

I posted a couple of bodge fixes from this, but I haven't done much in
the past couple of days... do we want to use a 32 bit type for reading
in bytecode or convert the 32 bit on-disc format into a 64 bit format in
memory before reading it on a platform with 64 bit IVs?

Cheers,

Phil
