Hi Steven,
I was able to reorder the source file (by adding forward declarations for the
functions and pulling the type definitions up) to get a version which works.
The following stores are missing in the broken version:
2999 result = arg_compile_impl( c, parse->file, parse->line );
...
3021 struct arg_list args = arg_compile( parse );
...
3076 arg = arg_compile_impl( arg_comp, constant_builtin, -1 );
in arg_compile:
store into "result" after call to "arg_compile_impl"
in argument_list_compiler_add:
store into "args" after call to "arg_compile"
in arg_list_compile_builtin:
store into "arg" after call to "arg_compile_impl"
I will report this to the compiler team responsible.
Thanks for the help.
Sincerely,
Hubert Tong

Okay. So I was off-by-one on the line number.
The problem appears to be either in arg_list_compile
or in argument_list_push.
A few more things that would help:
a) The output with the attached patch
(There may be a lot. I only need the output for
find-to-root)
b) The output when run under valgrind --track-origins=yes
c) A mixed assembler/source dump for function.c. (The
problem is sufficiently isolated now that I should
be able to track down the problem with only this.)

So the stack is totally broken. I really hope
that this is mostly a result of incorrect debug
info, because l in frame 0, should be the same
as values in frame 1.
In Christ,
