That's definitely good, but it seems like UCL is very good at exposing 
bugs in LLVM. :)  To avoid this happening in the future, could you put 
together a simple test (like you are using to check for correctness) that 
we can use to test the compiler?

As a bonus, this will also be used for performance tracking, so LLVM would 
be more likely to compile your code to a faster result if its in our 
testsuite. :)

To add it to our suite, I basically need the following:

1. All of the source files in one directory
2. A list of compiler flags to build with
3. Any input files
4. Instructions on how to run the program.

We're always looking for new interesting test cases :)
