gc confusion, 32 vs. 64 bit

[Juergen Fuhrmann <fuhrmann@...>]

Hi, 

I tried my test code on sgi, where  we have both a 32 and a 64 bit ABI
(as now everywhere besides the dying Tru64...).  The message is: on 32
bit, the gc collects my userdata, as on 64 bit it does not.

So i am beliving now the following: 
a) Garbage collection is inteded in this situation
b) Some pointer hash code assumes pointers to be 32 bit.
