The mlton.share regression checks the behavior of the MLton.share and
MLton.shareAll functions (http://www.mlton.org/MLtonStructure). It
maximizes sharing in the heap of immutable objects.
Because of alignment considerations (and, in the future, because of the
native sizes of system types), object representations and sizes can vary
from platform to platform. In the regression suite, there are
mlton.share.sparc-solaris.ok and mlton.share.hppa-hpux.ok files, which
contain the expected output on those platforms.
What's odd is that you seem to be producing the expected sizes for
sparc-solaris, but the regression script appears to be comparing against
mlton.share.ok. What is the output of running './bin/platform'?
