no.  if i change the print to print an integer, it still fails.

in fact, it's really the indirect call in print that fails.
this is the instruction

	CALL	*AX

acid; *AX
0x002014b300000000
acid; src(*AX>>32)
/sys/src/libc/fmt/dofmt.c:310
 305		return _fmtrcpy(f, x, 1);
 306	}
 307
 308	/* fmt an integer */
 309	int
>310	_ifmt(Fmt *f)
 311	{
 312		char buf[88], *p, *conv;
 313		uvlong vu;
 314		ulong u;
 315		uintptr pu;
