Internalerror numbers are just unique numbers be using <date><seqnr>. They
don't have any meaning.

Quick intro for debugging this.
- Build compiler with debug info: 'make cycle OPT=-gl'
- Compile source with this new compiler in gdb:
   - gdb --args <newcompiler> <args>
   - (gdb) br INTERNALERROR
   - (gdb) dir <pathtocompilersource>
   - (gdb) r
   - Hit breakpoint
   - (gdb) bt
   - The backtrace will give you more info. Use 'fr <framenr>' to jump to
a function in the callstack so you can watch the code and variables.
