[fpc-devel] Might need some help with this one

[J. Gareth Moreton]

Crumbs, this minor aside has blown up more than the original problem!

To get back on topic, it seems there's a bug with one of the node code 
generators under -O2 and above.  It's not something I've researched that 
deeply, but I would like to see it fixed.  First though we need to find 
which node is malfunctioning.
