I have no clue as to what's going wrong and you only gave us a tiny code fragment so it's difficult to guess, however I wonder if this would help, or at least shed some light on what is happening.

my $bit = ($addr & $mask) ? 1 : 0;

Yeah, thanks for the input, that would certainly have fixed it. Actually I'd thought about it earlier but it seemed kinda kludgy to me because the bug shouldn't have been there in the first place and it wasn't on any of my systems, so I wanted get to the bottom of it. And of course because of the few extra cycles :)
