Although the VSTa kernel isn't written with any "volatile" declarations,
I was pretty careful in positioning procedure calls to keep the compiler
aware of the volatility of globals. The best example of this is the nop()
call while idling.

I have yet to hit a bug due to the optimizer. This includes GCC 1.X and 2.X
with and without the optimizer. As Rob said, if you find one, let us know.
