That's the one I tried, but I didn't see anything odd when running it
with or without -O2.   The symptom of failure would be the loop
skipping directly from i = 0 to i = 255?

If we are seeing success with GCC 4.2.4 and failure with GCC 3.4.6,
and nothing else obviously wrong, this would seem to indicate a
compiler bug or library bug.   Are there other GCC versions that have
shown problems?
