Aarrrggggghhh. Stupid F*ing MS compiler/optimizer. This version passes
both tests

but if I remove/comment out the printf() it fails again exactly as
before, i.e. when the first operand (2nd on stack) is 2863311530.1.

The only way I can fix this is to turn off MS global optimizations for
the duration of the calcPerform() function, which does allow the
original code to work. The win32-x86 build doesn't need that though
