Hi, Eliot & all,
false alarm. The assertion was failing because i hardcoded to use -O1 for gcc3x-interp.c, while when building for debug, it apparently should be -O0, because otherwise gcc does not generates proper stack frame(s) for these functions, which makes assertion failing (because it used condition ebp & 15 == 8)
