Yeah, there are definitely several examples where small code is generated 
by miscompilation, especially of volatiles.

However I would prefer to leave these testcases in, unless there is a 
strong feeling that they are too distracting.  They serve as poignant 
little reminders about how easy it is to get volatile wrong...
