I was able to reproduce it, on stable/10.  I could not reproduce it on
head, but that is how it sometimes goes with this kind of issue. :)

It seems to work for me with -O1 -march=core2, and while valgrind does
complain a little, the warnings are all benign.

zero in on where the problematic area(s) are.
