I attempted a bit of debugging on this, but got stuck. As far as I could
make out, something in processClass() corrupts the c argument to
soft_initialize_class(), which ends up as 0x01 after the return from
processClass(). That argument is held in a register, so I suspect that
some piece of sparc asm is overwriting a register it's not supposed to.
Unfortunately, my knowledge of sparc runs out well before hitting
assembler ...
