OS: AIX 3.4
Submission from: is34e1u23.jaist.ac.jp (150.65.124.23)

Bigarrays not working on the IBM RS6000 SP2:

% uname -a
AIX sp-fep 3 4 0058655D4C00
% cd ocaml-3.05
% ./configure -cc "c89 -qmaxmem=16384 -qlonglong"
% make world opt etc...
% cat file.ml
open Bigarray

let qvf = Genarray.create float32 c_layout [|3;3;3|]

% ocamlopt bigarray.cmxa file.ml -o file
% ./file
Fatal error: exception Invalid_argument("Bigarray.create: negative dimension")

Same behaviour for ocamlc and all kinds, layouts, dimensions.
