    It's not all that hard to dump a large verb, but it *does* involve allocating a
    fair amount of storage; the server does decompilation by converting the opcode
    stream into a parse tree and then pretty-printing that tree.

    My guess is that we simply ran out of swap space on lambda, which is of course
    a real pain.
