David-

I've had troubles using Pluto on a 64-bit system; if I remember
correctly, I found that the string serialization/deserialization routine
writes the string size out as an int, and reads it in as a long (or
something along those lines), so that it's the same size on a 32-bit
system, but not a 64-bit one.  If you'd like, I can send you a patched
version I made; everything but live coroutine restoration seems to work.
