Unless Tom's changed the animal's config since that thread, yes.

We did not. If it's a compiler bug, and one as phase-of-the-moon-
dependent as this seems to be, I'd have zero confidence that any
specific source code change would fix it (barring someone confidently
explaining exactly what the compiler bug is, anyway). The best we
can do for now is hope that backing off the -O level avoids the bug.
