Yes. And I've actually spent some time working on it. I believe the
problem is related to dwarfout's handling of arrays, but my feebile
hacks didn't fix the problem. I just don't understand the code well enough
to fully analyze and solve the problem.

Actually, I kinda thing this is a long standing latent bug, assuming the
analysis I've done to date is correct.
