I figured it out, I had earlier found that calling driver_mk_port() didn't
work inside of the readyio callbacks, so I call it during driver start, but
I had not stored it properly in my driver data structure.  So the value I
was passing into erl_drv_output_term() was in fact garbage (although it
didn't crash the system).

In any case, I found the issue and it all works perfectly now!

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
