Does it use exceptions?  Exceptions + PIC don't work right on any
i386 platform.  There is register corruption.  I'm not sure whether
an exception even has to be taken in order for the problem to
appear.

I contacted Mike Stump about it some time ago, and said, "I don't
see a simple way to fix this, do you?"  He said, "That's right.
Wait for 2.8".
