I installed Debian Squeeze to reproduce this. I've seen a similar 
problem before. It looks like a gcc optimization bug. If you configure 
like so:

CFLAGS='-O0' ./configure

then the problem does not occur.

In your opinion what should we do? I have a hard time distilling this 
into a test case to send to the gcc development guys. When I make 
changes, the issue dissappears.

Previously I think we saw the issue with gcc 4.6.1. I made trivial 
changes [1] to suppress the issue with that gcc release. I thought it 
was specific to that point release. However it appears that the problem 
is more widespread :(

Cheers,

Stef
