Just wanted to note that this was not found by me, it was found by the atf regression test suite. I've been running a continuous cycle of 'build.sh release; anita test' on an amd64 test-bed for several weeks now, to augment the work being done by Andreas Gustafson on i386.

Testing does find problems!  :)
