AFAICT, the code was just plain wrong with gcc 3.4.4.  However, I found a bug
report where someone was reporting a similar problem and the reply was "Well,
you had aliasing problems.  What woudl you expect?" and, indeed, fixing the
aliasing problems seemed to fix the code generation problem.

It still is troubling that gcc 3.4.4 ended up using a completely wrong
place on the stack for a variable (after changing a static function to
an inline function).
