With a nice simple C test case from Tim, I've submitted this one to internal

I'll let everybody know what happens when I know more.

Thanks, Mark!  I opened a bug on SF to record more clues:

http://sourceforge.net/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=128210&group_id=5470

I didn't assign it to anyone because-- best I can tell --there's nothing
realistic we can do about it.  Probably won't happen in practice anyway
<wink>.
