Here's the story as best Ian and I can tell.
I sent Ian my interp.c after my email and I agreed with his analysis.

It appears I accidently used the 3.7x-5 (64bit able) sources with a 
pre-64bit able image. They didn't agree with each other and thus the error.

Hope that shines a little light on the issue.

Thanks for your help and looking at this.
