It's here:

      *(int64_t *) ptr = *(int32_t *) ptr;

It's a mistake to attempt to sign extend a 32-bit value to 64-bits
when there's only a 32-bit container for that value.

I'm testing a patch which puts #ifdef __x86_64__ ... #endif
around the new code that I added.  I had thought that it was already
in one of these blocks, but it's not.

Thanks for the report and apologies for taking so long to get back
to you.  (Thanks to Sergio for pointing it out to me!)
