I believe the problems were rather with g++. In my 2.95.4 version,
case (2) still doesn't work (well it compiles but generates wrong
code). Case (3) works though, so that sounds like the way to go, I'll
apply your patch.

Yes, g++ is the culprit here. IIRC I did some changes about one year
ago because of g++ (maybe going to 1 or 2).  But in any case I would
consider it a bug with g++, hopefully they will fix it (either in 2.95.5
or 3.0.x).
