> Eliot, any clue what to look at?

Certainly look ok at the instruction that raised the exception.  Looks like the longjmp is trying to return to somewhere it shouldn't.  Also you've written "snip" at the hot end of the stack.  If that's not a typo, post all of the hot end of the stack.

You could look at the returnToInterpreter jmpbuf after the setjmp that initializes it and become familiar with its contents.  Then check when the longjmp occurs that it is t corrupted and the frame that created it still exists on the stack.

It may be that longjmp walks the stack (I hope not) looking for the frame containing the setjmp.  As we can see from gdb's stack trace that can't be found.  So finding out whether longjmp is simple or tries to be clever is important.  Hopefully it is simple and just reloads the registers and jumps.

I expect we need code in the ceReturnToInterpreterTrampoline that establishes the stack alignment requirement.  ceReturnToInterpreter: would be called from machine code where there is only 8 byte alignment on x64 (& 4 byte alignment on 32-bit VMs).  If you like I can try and implement this tomorrow.

So yes, definitely add the "self assertCStackWellAligned" to both ceReturnToInterpreter: and ceBaseFrameReturn:.  It looks like the issue is whether the returnToInterpreter jmpbuf is correctly aligned.
