Yes, I got two copies of each message since I'm added to the CC list
(and no, don't remove me :-)).  However, I disagree with your
conclusion as you stated below and phrased on gcc@gcc.gnu.org

I suppose that is one way of closing this PR.  The original patch 
was to solve a problem.  Reverting the patch will not solve it; it
would just hide this problem and unsolve the other one.  I would
prefer digging up and find ways to solve the regression.  
Reverting this patch would be the case only if there is no way to
get rid of this problem.  For what it worths, this problem
also affects 3.4.0 and (I think 3.5.0).

Thanks for your inputs and monitoring the PR.
