I forgot to reply to that point before. Unfortunately, I don't think
you're going to see the same effect on other machines. It seems to be
something about my Mac laptop and/or the compiler. Two other 64-bit
machines that I tried (Linux/gcc and Windows/MSVC) behaved more like my
laptop in 32-bit mode.
