This is really a bug in your code; you are exceeding a compiler limit,
thus the code behaves undefined. There is a bug in the compiler also:
the compiler should diagnose that you exceed the limit, but there is
no reasonable way you could expect this code to work on the
microprocessor you are using (and with the operating system you are
using).
