Thanks for this one.  I've pushed it.  Incidentally, "make check" ran
to completion today.  The symbol GC test which was failing yesterday
succeeded now!

Might be a consequence of small internal shifts, like you said.  Anyway,
I rebuilt again with 20b7d9ef62480b43a64e04b7381d9cf62e6823a7 and it
failed.  So to debug this problem we could use that revision; it
consistently fails here, and it also failed on today's build at call-cc.

Cheers,
Peter
