Thanks for reporting.  There has been some kind of error that has been
happening only on this platform ever since the first post of this
patch. Discovering the reason for this is on my TODO list.

Previously, the error for this platform used to manifest differently
-- reporting about a bad structure member alignment -- so I am
guessing it is the same issue, but in this case, the bad alignment
caused some bool to contain garbage.
