Try out bug #465 for size, as it's my current holdup (for some reason it didn't forward to p6i). In this case a restore instruction sends the parrot runtime into a loop from which it never (28 hours later) recovers. It's probably Yet Another Garbage Collection bug or related to the stuff that Melvin was working on, I dunno. Yes, the test case is HUGE but the rewards are great if it can be fixed.
