Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

By the way, all traces of 0711-596 on the Web seem to point to IBM compiler 
errata. Apparently xlc tries to support computed gotos (which is originally a 
GCC-specific feature) but doesn't do it very well.

The support for computed gotos is detected automatically by the configure 
script; --without-computed-gotos helps override the detection.

I would close this issue as a compiler bug, especially given that there's a 
configure switch to circumvent it.
