But the parentheses around typed parameters could certainly be part of 
the problem.  At least once weren't balanced when it crashed while I was 
editing!

But 1.2.0.9 hasn't made it to jessie yet.

I've installed 2.0.8 from opam to replace 1:2.0.7-1 from jessie.  
Haven't used it long enough to tell.  But if it takes 2.0.9, it won't be 
enough.  Unless opam and jessie are out of sync.  There doesn't 
seem to be a 2.0.9 in opam yet.  2.0.8 was the version 
that opam installed with
       opam install tuareg.

I'll report back when I've had experience with opam's 2.0.8 version.
