Hmm.. this shouldn't happen. When debugging it is also a good idea to do
a -dgrin-final and -dc, reading the final grin code is often easier than
the c, variable numbers stay the same between the versions, so finding
cooresponding places is pretty easy just by searching for the variable
names.

I tried to reproduce your test case but wasn't able to. do you have a
version that reliably triggers this? are you compiling with -flint? that
is usually a good thing to do if you suspect a bug in the compiler.
