Why is it surprising ? It probably means your C stub returns a
non-block value and caml thinks it's a block value (and when it tries
to access the block, it gets a segfault). Or it could be a block that
was allocated with a wrong size, etc.

You could use a generic function (using Obj) to print the actual
structure of the returned value (block/long, nb of fields, tag, etc).
