>> BTW, the latest bug was with BLISS-32 which has to make a in-memory argvector if the code uses the ARGPTR(), ACTUALARGUMENT(), or NULLARGUMENT() builtin. On each of the platforms, we have to home the argument list from the "some in registers; some on the stack" to a "all-in-memory copy so it can be indexed dynamically". The code we generated for "move the first 6 from registers to memory then copy 7 and above from their quadword stack slots to longword stack slots. The code was off-by-one for reading the stack arguments. Ooopsie.

Clair mentioned it a week or so ago. I believe it was in the RMS
filename parsing stuff, but, might be better to go read his post. I
don't remember waking up today, so counting on my memory is a losing
proposition.
But yeah, x86 stuff.
