I'd argue that porting an otherwise portable project to new platforms
usually helps turn up hidden bugs that can bite you later. Those two
alignment issues, for example. There's also a segfault on
kfreebsd-amd64, which I'll wager also stems from an actual bug in MLton
(supposing I can find it).<br>

because I've cross-compiled it to build embedded stuff for ages, but no
porter machine is available with debian that I can bootstrap it on.

There are a few other items that I would like to finish before<br>
releasing. One is the performance bugs identified by Reactive<br>
Systems. </blockquote></div><div><br>If it's reproducible I can take a whack at it. Which issue is this? link?<br> </div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Another is a regression failure with signals on Mac OS X<br>
10.5 (Leopard), which I believe is due to a broken sigaltstack, but<br>
have had difficulty isolating.<br></blockquote><br></div>What's the failure mode?<br><br></div></div><br>
