You're probably still catching up.. but my tests using TestXPTCInvoke.cpp from /usr/ports/www/mozilla-devel/work/mozilla/xpcom/reflect/xptcall/tests indicates that the linux/alpha code does not work for us. This was tested on -stable, built as of last night. It seems to be close -- the PC ends up *close* to where it should, but it does not end up at the correct address, and all hell breaks loose.
