Mainly it's a schedule-driven thing. I don't want to take any risk that
a last-minute patch to work around AIX's broken compiler will break any
other platforms. If we had found this problem before beta cycle
started, I would be more willing to say "let's try it and find out
whether it works everywhere".Yeah, it's paranoia, but considering that the whole thing is an exercise
in covering up a "shouldn't happen" compiler bug, I think paranoia is
not so unreasonable.
Thank you for going to all that trouble !! The fix, as it is in RC1 works great
on AIX with both xlc and gcc.
