This is what I get:

That crash will come up reliably if I just leave venus sitting there.
I tried actually using the the file system and it died in other
places.  It may be a coincidence but the functions all seem to be
functions with varargs.

OK - after more digging and debugging it looks like this may not be
coda's fault, looking at the machine code level there looks like there
may be a misaligned stack.  "let me get back to you on this" ;)
