I agree that I'm not eager to uglify the code that much to avoid a
single-platform compiler bug. Can it be worked around with less-ugly
changes? I'd try changing the --i to i--, for example; and/or swapping
the order of the two initialization assignments. Neither of those would
impair readability noticeably.
