Actually, they were both running NetBSD. Loading a MOO on the Alpha machine would spew a thousand+ unaligned access warnings and then die. Even with the kernel set to "fix" unaligned access to make the CPU happy, it'd still crash.


That would be either an OS bug, then, or a bug in the code that the Alpha calling conversion exposes and the sparc64 not (and agreed that BE64 is more likely to catch conversion bugs from 32-bit.)
