Segmentation fault callling OCaml 4.02

[smondet]

Maybe this is an OCaml bug.

Still with this: https://github.com/smondet/atd2cconv When switching to OCaml 4.02.0:

The command that fails (run by the generated Makefile) is:

Replacing atd2cconv.cmli-byte with atd2cconv.mli makes the command work, and the next one fails in the same way (the cml-byte, and then the cml-native, etc...).

[smondet]

Also inside opam the error is different but seems also related to marshalling:

Fatal error: exception Invalid_argument("output_value: functional value")

(from there: https://travis-ci.org/hammerlab/ketrew/jobs/36071380)

[smondet]

The difference between with and without opam, was the version ocaml-dumpast used.

With the “right” one, the error is:

Fatal error: exception Invalid_argument("output_value: functional value")

I cannot build the hello world example:

I guess this is an issue with ocaml-dump. Might need some porting to the latest release of OCaml.
