Here's my proposal to fix run_uncached() -- it works correctly for me for both 32-bit and 64-bit builds (current code crashes for me for 64 bits, because as a result of the bad calculation a jump outside any valid address space is attempted). I've inspected generated machine code to make sure it's correct as well. Unfortunately with this code GCC spits out a few bogus warnings for 32-bit builds (this is supposed to be a "non-bug" of the compiler -- see "http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12963" for details). I'm not sure struggling hard to get rid of these warnings, possibly complicating code, is worth the hassle; GCC should be fixed instead. Unless there are objections I'd like to apply this patch.
