Optimiser-related bugs are very, very rare. Currently I know of only 
three optimiser bugs (bug 5239 and bug 5364, and I can't reproduce 
either test case on Windows; and bug 5100 "-O Degrades performance of 
loop statements"). If there are any others, please report them, as they 
get top priority.
