Possible patch

Hi Brian,

  Fascinating.  I still cannot reproduce this failure, which leads me to
believe that it may very well be a clang/llvm bug.  One obvious possibility for
this is that it may be miscompiling the test for buffer overflow just before
the read at line 10189.  So please could you try out the uploaded patch and let
me know if it has any effect.  All that the patch does is to rearrange the code
slightly and change the check to be a pointer comparison rather than an integer
comparison.

Cheers
  Nick
