[MLton-user] Apparent bug in PackWord32Big.subVec

[Ryan Newton]

The following code works in SML/NJ, but generates a type error in MLton.

fun read_int32 vec i =
  Int32.fromLarge(Word32.toLargeInt(PackWord32Big.subVec(vec,0)))

>From the error message, it looks like PackWord32Big.subVec is
returning a Word64.word!

I'm using MLton 20061107, but will happily use the latest sources when
I can get them to build successfully.  I'm very new to mlton (and
sml).  And I'm failing to build rev 5666 on my macbook pro either
using the old powerpc binary or bootstrapping with sml-nj.  Also, if
there are detailed build instructions somewhere, I haven't found them.
 The installation page doesn't describe how to build from source:

http://mlton.org/Installation

And I only got the right svn url by guessing ;).  It seems like it
should be listed on:

http://mlton.org/Download
