State-Changed-Why:
    Yes, this is wicked. gcc 2.95, 3.2, 3.2.2 and 3.3 do indeed not reuse
    the tail padding in this example; it does also not matter
    whether I specifiy -fabi-version=0 or 1 or 2. Also, icc6.0
    does not. But gcc3.0.4 and icc7 do! I don't know what the standard
    says, but it seems like worth someone knowledgable check
    this.
