Yes, the stack overflows much more quickly on AMD64 for me (pure64 Debian vs 
stock x86 Debian) and also causes a segfault instead of throwing 
Stack_overflow. I've no idea why.

Try playing with ulimit to set the stack size and rerunning your program.

I have found no other sources of segfaults with OCaml on AMD64.
