Andrew has found the problem and provided a patch to fix the issue. The problem
for the crash is atomic_copy64 which is broken on PPC32. The inline-assembly
is incorrect and does not actually transfer any data.

The attached patch fixes the problem.

Could some please review and apply it?

Thanks,
Adrian
