... as for the Bus Errors generated in migrating up to 3.08, it seems that
(my fault really) the new failwith() primitive can trigger a GC cycle
whereas it did not in 3.07 and earlier.
I was playing (too!) fast and loose with the C interfacing guidelines and
did not declare the input value arguments in camlParam macros at the start
of my routines, except where I anticipated allocating fresh OCaml objects in
the C heap. That's now a no-no... at least on the Windows version of 3.08. I
have yet to go back and clean up my code for another try in Mac OS X.
Shame on me!
