I agree that I'm not eager to uglify the code that much to avoid a
single-platform compiler bug.  Can it be worked around with less-ugly
changes?  I'd try changing the --i to i--, for example; and/or swapping
the order of the two initialization assignments.  Neither of those would
impair readability noticeably.
