Like I mentioned, > it can take days for the thing to surface. The handlerlist_sentinel didn't help, BTW, but I had another idea today. The function scan_ambig assumes that that references are aligned on word boundaries (8 bytes here). I haven't checked (and I'm too lazy to check :-)), but that assumption doesn't have to be true. Or, to say the least, I didn't make sure the assumption holds. I'm running with this in my branch only, for now.
