Hmm, there isn't very specific information in that thread... And Gnome
programs usually run fine on Alpha.

Very unlikely. If one changes the upper 32 bits of a pointer on an
Alpha, one will most likely get an invalid pointer (it was designed
that way...)

I just noticed that I get the same problem when I recompile the source
used for the Debian package, whereas the compiled package works. So
the problem is really somewhere in my build environment and not in the
code. I'll try another compiler version (currently I'm using gcc
version 2.95.2).
