I'm sure all of the minor changes that fix or unfix the problem are just 
changing the value that happens to be left over in those uninitialized 
32 bits.

None of that affects the real bug, which depending on the ABI might be 
the fact that those 32 bits are uninitialized, but more likely is the 
fact that those 32 bits matter, which in turn might be a bug in the 
called routine or might be a gcc bug in compiling the called routine.
