Caml interface with C on x86_64

["Li-Thiao-Té Sébastien" <Sebastien.Li-thiao-te@crans.org>]

Hi,

I am using OCaml on two different Debian systems, a P4 machine at home 
and an Opteron machine at work. The following C function works well on 
the P4 but crashes on the Opteron with "Signal -10" :

value test_liste (value str) {
    // test function to return a list to caml
    CAMLparam1(str);
    CAMLlocal1(cons);

    printf("This is test_liste.\n");
    printf(String_val(str));
    fflush(stdout);

    cons = caml_alloc (2,0);
    Store_field (cons, 0, Val_int(3));
    Store_field (cons, 1, Val_int(0));
    if (Is_block(cons)) { printf("true\n");};
    fflush(stdout);
    printf("cons has size %i \n",Wosize_val(cons));
    fflush(stdout);
    CAMLreturn (Val_int(0));
}

called from a custom toplevel system :
external test_liste : string -> int list = "test_liste";;
test_liste "oaue";;

The function works with gcc-3.4 and gcc-4.0 on the P4 but crash with 
both on the opteron machine. Can anybody explain this error?
