[Bug optimization/13609] New: sscanf optimization error

["BStrauss-gcc at feliscatus dot org" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Different results for small test program when compiled -O2 vs no optimization 
(non-optimized version is right):

#define cNV2N(a, b) printf("-> %10u expected %10u\n", 
convertNtopVersionToNumber(a), b)

unsigned int convertNtopVersionToNumber(char *versionString) {
  /* This one is purely an arbitrary conversion.
   *
   * But it knows about the version # schemes we've used in the past
   *  e.g. 2.2c, 2.2.50, 2.2.97, 3.0pre1, 3.0rc1 etc. so that the number truly 
is relative
   * for numeric testing.
   *
   *  The goal is to get the following converted to ascending numeric order:
   *
   *   1.3 2.1 2.1.2 2.1.3 2.1.50 2.1.90 2.2 2.2a 2.2b 2.2c 2.2.50 2.2.97 
3.0pre1 3.0rc1 3.0
   *
   * e.g.:
   *
   *   1.3     103000000
   *   2.1     201000000
   *   2.1.1   201000001
   *   2.1.2   201000002
   *   2.1.3   201000003
   *   2.1.50  201050000
   *   2.1.90  201090000
   *   2.2     202000000
   *   2.2a    202000100
   *   2.2b    202000200
   *   2.2c    202000300
   *   2.2.50  202050000
   *   2.2.90  202090000
   *   3.0pre1 299998001
   *   3.0rc1  299999001
   *   3.0rc2  299999002
   *   3.0     300000000
   *
   * n.m   -> nmm000000
   * n.m.x -> nmmyyy0xx  (if x>=50 yyy=x else xx=x)
   * n.ml  -> nmm000l00 (where a=1, b=2, etc.)
