I'm running a fresh checkout of r12014. I wrote a simple test
program (t.pir attached) that uses "dumper.pir" to dump the

environment (SUSE 10 Professional Linux) I get very strange
output and the strings appear to have been corrupted. On
my 32-bit environment, the output is exactly as I would
expect it to be.
I've tried that with r12014 on an amd64/linux box. Dump is the same as
with 32bit. There must be more than just running it on 64-bit. You
could further test:
$ ./parrot -G t.pir >d # does it work with DOD/GC off?
$ ./parrot --gc-debug t.pir >d # is it worse?
$ ./parrot -D40 t.pir >d # fill I/N regs with garbage
You should also verify that you don't have some installed old copies of
parrot in your path.
