I'm not an expert on Python internals, but I'm aware that the part of code 
that you are working with is known to push gcc to its limits (it's a too 
long, too complex block of code, even for gcc). There was a thread about this 
a few days ago; you should be able to find it using Google. As far as I can 
remember, some of the Python-Dev members pointed out that changing a few 
lines on this loop is enough to turn the optimizer crazy, changing a lot of 
the generated code; and also that there was an attempt some time ago to 
simplify it, but people gave up because of performance and complexity 
reasons.
