I got this result when running the attached code with r3490 on both XP and debian 5. 
 
include/std/memory.e:66 in type machine_addr() 
A machine-level exception occurred during execution of this statement 
 
... called from d:/eu40/include\std\machine.e:78 in function allocate() 
 
... called from d:/eu40/include\std\io.e:450

puts(1, "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1\n\n") 
 
puts(1, format(now(), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S LOCAL\n")) 
puts(1, format(now_gmt(), "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S GMT\n")) 
 

The following patch fixes this.

I see two problems exposed by this.

Firstly, we crash with a machine-level exception instead of correctly reporting the type-check failure.

Second, the reason for the type check failures is that we get a negative address returned. The types themselves were defined correctly, but something in the conversion of values in the backend is not working correctly.

Try svn:3491. This should be fixed via ticket:227.

There are still some issues to be worked out with the binder. The tests named "t_c_*", I believe are due to some recent changes to error messages. The tests actually look for the correct error messages, and haven't been updated to match the new messages yet.
