Ok.  Revised as suggested and attached.  Same ChangeLog entry.

BTW, I noticed that, but I decided to just follow what was there already.
It looked like someone started to do this and then just forgot.  Also,
comming from a realtime background, I can't/don't always rely on the
compiler to just "do the right thing", even for simple optimizations like
this; been burned too many times with new compiler releases.  Just FYI.
