  That is worrysome.  Was a GCC PR filed for it?
  
I believe I actually did report that one.  And I actually
supplied a patch.  Then someone suggested an incorrect change,
and we ended up in a discussion loop.  In the end, he rejected my
small and correct patch and committed something more complex but
"invented here",
