If you look at the code I have NO IDEA how to fix this for older GCC.  Gripping at me about this isn't fair.  I'm sure if I hack something to make gcc-4.2 happy I'm going to piss off gcc-4.6.  We can't win.

At some point we have to move off gcc-4.2 as the baseline compiler w/regards to warning and code generation.
