One quite often encounters this type of error introduced into previously
valid code by so-called "optimizers".  It's definitely a bug in the C
optimizer, perhaps due to an improper template somewhere.  (Also see if
the M32 SGS optimixer* bug fixes I posted to comp.bugs.sys5 a couple of
months ago (as DMD SGS bugs) have been installed.)

*This was a typo, but it seemed too fortuitous to correct!
