I added a new function to the core/KinoSearch/Test/Util/TestStringHelper.c file 
as below:

static void
test_SKIP_and_TRAILING_local()
{
     u8_t i, max;

     for (i=0, max=255; i < max; i++) {
         printf("i == %d\n", i);
         printf("UTF8_SKIP[%d] == %d\n", i, StrHelp_UTF8_SKIP[i]);
         printf("i == %d\n", i);
         printf("UTF8_TRAILING[%d] == %d\n", i, StrHelp_UTF8_TRAILING[i]);
         printf("i == %d size %d\n", i, sizeof(i));
     }
     printf("finally: i == %d\n", i);
}

output:

$ perl -Mblib t/core/032-string_helper.t
<...snip regular test output...>
i == 0
UTF8_SKIP[0] == 1
i == 0
UTF8_TRAILING[0] == 0
i == 0 size 1
finally: i == 255

Notice that 'i' just skips straight from 0 to 255.

When I comment out either of the UTF8_*[..] calls, then it works fine. It's the 
combination of the two that causes the problem.

So there are no macros to affect that _local() function, and no vararg oddities.

However, when I put the same code into a standalone file and run it, it works 
(see the test app I sent earlier in this thread with the UTF8 arrays hardcoded).

I have tried this on two different RHEL 4 boxes, both with gcc version 3.4.6 
20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3).

I'm going to go drink a beer and try not to think about this madness for awhile 
and hope that the answer just comes to me in my sleep.
