I'm looking at the MEX VM on-and-off -- it's been frustrating me.
 
The only changes which ave made it into the CVS versions of max is a
modification of the grammar so that it will compile correctly under real
yacc (as opposed to GNU bison). 
 
The problem is that for some reason, MEX is dereferencing pointers to
unallocated memory when its trying to pull stuff from its heap. I originall
through the problem was that Scott was coercing pointers into 32 bit
scalars and back, but I have since tested under a 32-bit platform (sparc)
and it still blows up.
 
Bascially, it's understand-the-code-then-hit-the-debugger time.
