Ahhh... perhaps it's due to the wrong marshaller being used (there is a
special marshaller for boxed types, IIRC).

Heh, cool. :)  After all, no one wants that kind of serious breakage in
CVS.  I was just curious if there was any ideas about the cause.  I'll
take a look at the marshallers and see if I can get things working.  If
so, I'll post a patch.
