I do not see a problem running a debug build with -O on Linux.  Is it
possible that this build does not contain the updates to compile.c
*and* symtable.c that were checked in this morning?  The problem you
are describing sounds a little like the error I had before the
symtable.c patch (which added in an INCREF) -- except that I was
seeing the error with all the time.
