I've tried debian/lenny on that same 64GB machine, and it built clean. I
then used the regression free mlton built by debian/lenny in debian/sid, and
it passed. On a hunch, I then rebuilt ONLY the runtime using debian/sid and
immediately got regressions.

My conclusion? gcc 4.4.3-9 is miscompiling our runtime, while 4.3.2-1.1
(lenny) and 4.4.3-2 (last sid upload) do not. I'll try to narrow down which
object file in particular causes the problem.
