I'm pretty sure it's the bignum thing, currently testing a fix. I 
underestimated the complexity of how bignums are dumped, and wrongly assumed 
that on 64-bit systems, we would be dumping bignums; it seems we don't do so 
anymore. (BIGNUM_DATA, unlike the bignum PVEC, doesn't have a header; it 
should, and if I add bignums to the dump manually things work now...).
