I don't know whether this will work or not. I think the problem is
that we don't really know much about the bug. Nobody has debugged it
and then reported all the salient facts. (There was a patch once, but
it was unsuitable for inclusion in the compiler, and as I recall came
without a full analysis of the bug.)
