This is fine, but 9fr...@9front.org is probably
better for 9front specific questions.

As far as uploading information -- 9front ships
with webpaste, so it's easy to get text uploaded,
which would let people copy values.

Acid just shows whole words, so you're seeing 64
bits of a 32 bit value.  If you look closely,
you'll actually notice that the top bits in 'n'
are also the bottom bits of 'dat'

It's a bit unfortunate, you either have to tell
acid how to format the type, or you have to know
that you just need to ignore the top bits.

Anyawys, the faulting address is

addr=0x100061fa0 pc=37930

Which shows up in R4. Given that *almost* the same
addresses (0x61fa0) in the other registers.  It
looks like it could be stack corruption.

Is this easy to reproduce?  Are you using the
binary from the last release, or is it your own
build?

Er... embarassing typo, thanks for catching it. I meant Plan 9. In those days, 
it seemed everyone who seriously used Plan 9 essentially maintained their own 
fork (and had the skills to do so). Erik Quanstrom was nice enough to package 
up Coraid's fork (or a variant) for the PC, and called it 9atom.

Just to note: The bounties page contains some updates the GSoC page does not. 
Perhaps most notable is video playback which looks like it might be nearly done.

9atom development ceased years ago, possibly before 9legacy got started. It had 
one developer; he posts occasionally. 9atom was related to Coraid in some way. 
Coraid used 9front, but the board of directors made them switch to Solaris, and 
then, "proving the adge that companies who switch operating systems go 
bankrupt, they went bankrupt." This was about 2014 or 15.
