Thanks, it worked like a charm.

Anyone for my second question from my original email (about the  
nested function)?

The more I look at the assembly output, the more I am puzzled.  
Another simple example:

for i = 0 to len - 1 do
   for j = 0 to len - 1 do
     array.(i).(j) <- 0;
   done;
done;

doesn't seem to be equivalent to

for i = 0 to len - 1 do
   let array_i = array.(i) in
   for j = 0 to len - 1 do
     array_i.(j) <- 0;
   done;
done;

in the former,  the compiler doesn't detect the invariant "array.(i)"  
and keeps it inside the inner loop.
I tried to pass -ccopt -O3 to ocamlopt but it didn't seem to change  
anything.
