No more registers than the Ubuntu buildbot, and possibly fewer if  
that's not an EM64T^WIntel64-capable Pentium 4 (or if it is but you're  
not building it 64-bit).  It might be that the older compiler's  
dataflow analysis isn't as sophisticated.

If volatile fixes the problem, that's the right fix; go ahead and  
check that in.
