Conceded.  I needed the last prod.  I kept looking at it from the
wrong angle (int -> float) altogether.  The reason I didn't catch a
wake up is that I have two versions of the compiler (recall the
flagged section I mailed you?) and as Murphy would have it, I'd pick
the wrong one for the diagnostic I was trying to elicit :-(

OK, let me shoehorn the qc code into qal as closely as I can, see if I
can make this baby rock.
