Last night I tried to recompile vt100 2.9 with the optimizer
turned on.  The optimizer gave some warnings about "dead
variable eliminatations" along with module name and varibles.
Well, I tried to execute it anyway knowing anything could happen
and I received a friendly visit from the local guru.  After
some investigation the variables that were eliminated are being
used.  In fact, one is used as a return value from the function.

I tried 5.0, 5.02, and 5.04 'go' with the same results.  Happy
bug hunting. :-)
