You're not the only one seeing it. I dug into it a while back, trying to track down what was going on, and there's something bizarre with the dumping of modules; if you run the dump using bin/pike, it causes this decode failure, but if you use the installed pike (even the exact same version), you don't. The simplest workaround is to delete the .o file in question after you install. I still haven't managed to track down exactly what the problem is, or make a minimal testcase that highlights it. It appears to be a mandelbug. ChrisA
