Sorry.  To be more precise:

 - the decoding of double-precision arguments was completely broken. 
In addition to copying unallocated memory, and getting the byte order
wrong, we tried to decode two four-byte pointers to data instead of the
data itself.  Thus the doubles were generally 'nan'.

 - If the number of GPRs fit precisely on an integer number of rows,
blank space would be printed without even a trailing newline, and the
prompt would be mysteriously indented.
