	It's nice to be in good company then.

	It seems likely to me that the change causes a buffer overrun somewhere
to surface in some other code, either way Dobey was getting some pretty
evil traces that went away with electric fence [ the worst kind of
memory pool corruption ], and _MALLOC_CHECK=2 didn't help either.

	Thing is he's not really doing any marshaling at all, so I don't see
how this will help much - but his trace was:

	Gloriously not useful, ( that's from the test-dynany regression test on
PPC ).

	Thanks for the fix,
