Re: machine-level exception r3490

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.
