The original problem was posted against series 800.  It's unlikely that
any series 800 optimizer bug would be a bug in the series 300 optimizer
since they share no code whatsoever.  While optimization techniques are
in general pretty well known, their implementation and effectiveness are
very machine specific.

Series 300 optimization has a few bugs of its own but this isn't one of
them.
