[Vm-dev] arm64 Cog Segfault [WAS Re: Aarch64 number bug]

[Bruce O'Neel]

Hi,

Yes, that's what I see as well.

I was just curious because Tim is sucessfully building and running cog
ARM64 VMs.  Maybe there is something special in the water on the West
Coast or something.

As you say the stack VM works perfectly.

Thanks

bruce
