Take care with the small sample. I've written that <<it does not reproduce the
problem>>, it was just an attempt. So far it just helped to show that it's
necessary to add the ranges to the GC, which I've done to the real program.

Despite of this in the real program it's still the same, if I call
'write(slb.serialize)':

- with '-inline': stdout is empty.
- without: stdout is filled

When you consider those two facts it really looks that the inliner does
something wrong.
