 Well, thanks to John Mackin, I now have the problem identified.
Pointers in DEC Alpha OSF/1 are 64 bits (as is 'long'), and the sam to
samterm protocol passes pointers around, lopped to 32 bits. Naturally
this causes problems when samterm gets a lopped pointer back and
attempts to use it.

 Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure of the best way to fix this.
Time to go spelunkering the sources.
