Trouble is that this is very possibly not specific to alpha-tru64 (see
Richard's comment), so for me this is a strong argument in favor of *not*
hiding this latent bug.

Unfortunately not. To be honest, I could have access to an alpha-tru64 machine,
but I don't have the middle/back-end knowledge (I am a front-end and run-time
expert, I only have basic knowledge of the back-end) to investigate.
