I conjecture that this is a problem with using an asm() designed for
an old compiler, and that gnu C is doing register optimization &
stepping on things the previous asm() thought were safe.

Perhaps the form ``asm("a single string")'' should raise a suppresible
warning, since these tend to be non-GNU asm()'s.
