There appear to be quite a number of little differences between 64 and 
32 bit versions of things. I recall corresponding with Will some time 
ago about big symbols not expanding under x64 when using nominally the 
same setup was fine in i386.

We (well, Will - I don't know the second thing about it) didn't get it 
solved at the time IIRC, but maybe the problems have a common root?
