Same on my Linux/i686 box. No error with David's simple test.

I haven't yet tried stepping through code. But random as it seems the
behavior in the regression test is quite repeatable. I wonder how few
tests we could include and still see a problem there? Maybe I'll look at
that a bit to see if I can help with a repeatable case.

Good hunting...
