Most (all?) of these error messages are caused by GreenCard related code
for manipulating Addrs. Since you're not getting far enough to
execute any GC generated code, these can't be the problem. However,
I've finally gotten off my butt and implemented the Addr-manipulating
code required on Alphas. The next beta release will include the code
but I can't test/debug it on Alphas cos Yale doesn't seem to have any.
In any case, I don't think that's what's causing the crash you report so,
the usual kind of questions:
o Does the January 1998 release work ok?
o Do any versions of Hugs build and run correctly on that machine?
