Yeah, it turns out that msp430-gcc is generally pretty buggy. Over  
time, we've worked around all of the 3.2.3 bugs. There was general  
consensus in core that we should upgrade to a newer msp430-gcc after  
the 2.1 release. This will probably involve a couple of months of  
finding new bugs and adjusting the TinyOS source to avoid them.
