Just tested on GCC 3.2.1 and GCC 3.3 (latest snapshot) on x86 Linux.

The bug is not present in 3.2.1, but it is present in 3.3 snapshot.

I suspected that +0 get optimized away, like in an integer expression
(a+5+0), where you can safely remove the +0 part without altering the
result. Of course this doesn't work for string concatenations.

But compiling with -O0 -O1 -O2 all yields the same result.
Maybe its something different.

Will do.

Well, I will give it a shot then.
