   If it works with the same release of Hercules on x86, SPARC, and PPC, 
but fails on ARM, then it's either a bug in Hercules or a bug in the 
host machine's C compiler or assembler...no ifs, ands, or buts.

   Hercules is very portable and host-architecture-agnostic; I'm 
surprised to see this happening at all.  And ARM is one of the most 
widely-deployed processor architectures in the world today (if not THE 
most widely-deployed); compilers for ARM are generally pretty 
well-debugged at this point.  This is very strange indeed.
