Well, I understand what you are saying, but whether a work-around is worth it
depends on whether the issue is still relevant in distros in use today - the
message you quote is from 2005.  After all, you never know whether some other
piece of code triggers a compiler bug in some rare case on some outdated distro.

Can you run valgrind on the simple test and check?

In any case, I think we need a commment so we can clean this up
sometime in the future.
