The debug build with "-g -xO4" finished.   Since this was based on an old svn
snapshot, I used your "signed int cattable_field:16; " patch and also converted
mtxrun and luatools to symbolic links to the updated versions.

With the debug build I don't get the error, so perhaps it was another symptom
of the same bug or some result of the changes in the lua codes.  I
hope it isn't
a compiler bug.
