But I get the same failure that OP is reporting. I wonder if its a bug in gist index build, though I could not spot anything at the first glance. FWIW changing the char[] from 20 to 22 or 24 does not cause any failure in rangetypes test. So I am thinking its some alignment issue (mine is a 64 bit build)
