Many thanks, Arne. I'll take a look and update the changelog and cut a new alpha. Incidentally, the existing alpha passes the testsuite successfully on my Darwin environment, which is a rare, if not nonexistent event.

I cherry-picked two recent changes in 8.0, which fix bugs which are also present in 7.8. There might be a couple more, but I have to have a look individually. There were also several problems with broken overflow checks (which get optimized away by compilers) but I am not sure what the state of 7.8 is there.

I've uploaded a tentative "alpha" release, 7.8.808. Please feel free to download and comment. If everything looks good, I'll promote it to beta in a week or so (or will prepare a new alpha if things don't look so good).
