Oh yes, I've forgotten about that. Thanks.

True. However I wondered if they were more elaborated debugging
techniques before relying on printf.

My program now produces a segfault even in byte code mode. :( 

Probably a misuse of Marshal. I've typed all of its input/output uses
but I've probably messed things between a marshal and its unmarshal
counter part. 

<hint for next ocaml ;)>

  It would be very nice to be able to rely on Marshal as safely as on
  ocaml typing. Just to be sure that if I expect an int * string, I will
  effectively receive an int * string or raise an exception. It could
  probably be done using the same tricks as used in printf formatters.
