Great - thanks!

No - that doesn't sound familiar.

MzScheme works with x86-64. Back when 64-bit Irix boxes roamed the
land, it worked on them, too. As far as I know, you're the first to try
with HP/UX at 64 bits.

If there was a GC problem, I think you wouldn't have gotten as far as
you do. I think it's probably something simple.

Can you send me a track trace? It might suggest something that I
wouldn't otherwise think of.

Thanks,
