[Bug c/25490] New: Assertion failure in pointer analysis

["dps at simpson dot demon dot co dot uk" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

There is a pointer arithmetic related assersion failure, apparently in the
logic attempting to deduce what the pointer might be pointing at. If you
compile wiht -O0 or chaneg p+1 to p the bug is apparently bypassed. My
"screenshot" is

dps@dps:~/duncan/src/foo/wlocal/build/phone/mq$ gcc --version
