That's probably the bug 4008:

http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4008

which is fixed in the 3.09 CVS branch (but not in the 3.10 branch, in
case you tried).

To get rid of the problem, you can either:

- use the CVS version (release309 branch);

- download, compile and link with the following files:

http://camlcvs.inria.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ocaml/stdlib/camlinternalMod.mli?rev=1.1.8.2
http://camlcvs.inria.fr/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ocaml/stdlib/camlinternalMod.ml?rev=1.4.2.1

- use ocamlopt
