*sigh*

I really should not reply to an email without waiting a few hours for
the information to sink in.

Clearly this example is testing something (which I admit I don't quite
get) that fails without proper closure support.

At any rate I can now report success on 32-bit Linux using the above VM
and following the directions in Andreas' original email up to the point
of testing the fib implementation and getting the 'correct' answer of
89.

I guess I'll run tests and anything else I can think of next.
