If it turns out not to be compiler bug, see if you can reproduce it with a CVS checkout or snapshot of the main branch. There's been an audit of the bignum code going on there, and all sorts of little conditions have been caught and corrected - it's quite possible you're seeing one of these conditions that remain in the 0.9.7-stable branch. (NB, we've avoided trying to backport these bignum changes to the stable branches because they're interdependent can't be moved piecemeal - and moving a large change-set back to a stable branch tends to make administrators and package maintainers very grumpy.)
