Just to clarify: I agree that, it's okay if, on one run of the
program, the program behaves as if it's 0 and on another run of the
program, the program behaves as if it's 1, or other similar
pathologies.  But I don't see how the standard allows the program to
behave as if the value is neither 0 nor 1.
