My guess is that something is wrong with the 3m write-barrier signal
handler, but that's just a guess.

Can you get a stack trace? I expect that just starting mzscheme3m will
crash.

By poking at plt/src/mzscheme/gc2/newgc.c, can you confirm that
SIXTY_FOUR_BIT_INTEGERS is correctly #defined (should be automatic), so
that the GC knows that it's working in 64-bit mode?

Thanks,
