I don't know since when, but it predates the emacs-unicode branch, which it's hampering me working on. The symptom is a crash (segv, if I remember correctly) in GC during dumping. I made a bug report some time ago, but it doesn't seem to have been fixed. Could someone look into it? I assume the commercial outfits (at least SuSE?) are interested in 64-bit. (It isn't due to an obvious lack of prototypes, although I found and fixed a few on the unicode branch.)
