What do you mean "what the bug was?"  You don't have to diagnose the
bug to report it.  Any time you get an internal assertion failure
from the compiler like that, all you have to do is post them a
preprocessed file that reproduces it.

Now I'm really confused.  If you posted the regressions, surely you
can go through them and look for that error message?
