That's useful, as it's the sort of thing that people forget. (Well, I would) Are you able to build 5.8.5 32-bit on your machine? This would make it clear whether it's a 5.6 -> 5.8 issue, or a 32 bit / 64 bit issue. My hunch is that it's something to do with big endian 64 bit builds (and pack templates or maybe structure alignment) but it would be good to test this. Nicholas Clark
