I was told at the time that there are apparent hard-to-find bugs
in our Linux emulation which prevents this from working, so to
save myself from grief others have already experienced, I did not
pursue that avenue any further.

Sounds like a possible sign extension problem in combination with
a 32/64-bit confusion, perhaps?  I'm just guessing...
