Ah, so it's a 64-bit problem after all. Does it work out of the box on
32-bit systems? (All the computers I have access to at the moment are
64-bit, so I can't verify this myself presently.)

I would be very happy to get a patched version -- I don't need live
coroutine restoration (not at the moment, at least). Do you know what
it is about live coroutines that don't work? (Normally, Pluto can
handle them, right?)

Cheers,
