yesss I should (and will).  But first I'm trying to gather data.

That is clearly documented. This is one reason why I'm not classifying
this behavior as a bug.  I was rather expecting there to be a "smell"
to the sort of bugs caused by a broken compiler, so that this could be
elimiated or confirmed. I'm just suprised that noone else has tickled
this bug before, be it with a broken compiler or not.

I'm currently at the stage of looking for thoughts and similar
occurences -- both positive and negative proof.  I was hoping that
people will report these regardless of whether I have a broken
compiler. 

Thanks for your reply.
