Yes, I looked for other occurrences of this in the code and tested them
directly, invoking the individual tests by name from cppunittestmain.

That test case works fine when built with -O2, regardless of the options
used for building cppunit. I.e., even when building cppunit itself with -O2
(and getting the testsuite failure), this test case still passes.
Time allowing, I'll look into getting a minimal test case working back from
the one that's known to fail.
