After going through the assembly code, it turned out the code that prompted
the testcase was using the wrong prototype causing the wrong number of
arguments to be pushed on to the stack. The unfortunate typo delayed me in
finding the real problem. When the testcase also hung, I thought for sure I
was on to something. But when I looked at its assembly and noticed it was
setting x to -1LL, I realized the testcase was faulty and had it closed.
Sorry for any trouble. It certainly caused me some.
Mark
