In my experience with debugging code, if drilling down to find the cause of the 
problem is not done, there is no way to conclude whether whether it is a 
compiler bug or a user bug.

(Of course, compiler internal errors are always compiler bugs.)

Drilling down and finding it to be a compiler problem also usually suggests a 
practical workaround for it.
