Ideally we should compile to assembler, trying with and without
-funroll-loops, and see if there really is a gcc bug or whether
it's our fault for writing unsafe code. :)  I'm sure the gcc
people would be happier if we could point them to the
instructions and circumstances which behave wrongly (they're
probably pretty busy).
