The "Broken Compiler" is in EVERY version prior to the UP3 compiler. We
just started tripping it with the changes in 7.4.

I don't know why they didn't/haven't put this fix in the MP path, and I
can't change that decision, therefore, we need to work around it.

It's not that big of a deal. See the patch I posted that SHOULD meet your
