Well, more than that - the "optimization" has been done at the source
code level, so that the behavior is no longer a matter about how well
the compiler optimizes it any more.

I'm not complaining about the fix. I'm complaining about how the fix
was claimed to be due to a compiler bug. The "documentation" for the
fix (ie the commit message) was actively misleading.
