Could you send me an example of a binary that has this problem by private 
e-mail (or put it on the Web somewhere)?  I will investigate.

The method cache is allocated in blocks of size 128 k, which does effectively 
limit how big the CVM version of a method can be.  Do you really have 
individual methods that are that big?

An overly large method may appear to be a verfication failure because of the 
way the CVM coder works.  The verifier, ilverify, wouldn't exhibit this same 
problem because it uses a null coder that doesn't generate CVM code.

Cheers,

Rhys.
