My first guess: bugs in the C compiler. I've often had to simplify
expressions in the EdML interpreter to get correct behaviour. The
other thing to check is all the byte-sex flags and so on in the
configuration header file, but since it's getting as far as relocating
the heap and giving you a prompt, I doubt this is wrong.
