not a _logic_ problem, but mainloop abuses the optimizer, which is
trying to collapse a lot of logic (5128 lines in one module is
excessive).  It's not the longest module I've seen, but the others
had no good excuse either.  (It just grew, apparently).

But it's both a portability and maintenance problem that won't go away
by itself.
