You know, I think I have a case for adding my Mandlebrot generator to
the test suite. 'Cos it coredumps on my PIII Linux laptop ;-) I have
no C debugging skills, but grab it from the bottom of
http://www.parrotcode.org/examples/ and with any luck you'll get

[acme@piglet parrot]$ ./assemble.pl mandlebrot.pasm > run.pbc
[acme@piglet parrot]$ ./test_prog run.pbc 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[acme@piglet parrot]$ gdb ./test_prog core
