"derive" crashes 32-bit VM

What steps will reproduce the problem?
-- Enter this line based on the derivation example from the GettingStarted page:

addSlot: #z valued: 1 derive.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-- A new slot ;)  But I get an infinite memory-chewing loop instead:

cslatevm$ ./slate
Nil
slate[1]> define: #x &parents: {Cloneable}.
("x traitsWindow")
slate[2]> addSlot: #y valued: x clone.     
("x traitsWindow")
slate[3]>  addSlot: #z valued: x derive.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

-- git master (git://repo.or.cz/cslatevm.git, 2010/09/12), Linux/x86 
2.6.31-22-generic
-- Using slate.little.32.2010-04-01.image (and 2010-03-15, and 2010-02-15)
-- Tried the optimized and debug builds (gcc 4.4.1)

Please provide any additional information below.

-- I tried re-bootstrapping, in case the image was borked, and ran into other 
errors (below).  Haven't tried on 64-bit.

cslatevm$ make bootstrap
