 ok, that's interesting, iirc we haven't forked any threads at that
 point, so it can't possibly be a race.  It seems like it has to be a
 compiler issue of some sort.

a back trace on the -O2 binary might not be perfect, but its something
which is destinctly better than nothing.  However I suspect me or
someone else will have to setup a gentoo box and walk through the
assembly and otherwise play with this ourselves.
