runs_too_long runs in a very short period of time

I have two nearly identical programs. In one (small.joe.cpp), a function called
'runs_too_long' does not run too long. It is compiled down to returning a
constant value.

In another, very slightly different program (small-nojoe.cpp), the function
'runs_too_long' does indeed run too long. It, in fact will not complete in any
reasonable length of time.
