Agreed on not filtering it out.

Alexander, does it help to add explicit debug output (say, fprintf to
stderr) on each iteration of the loop? If not, can you compare the debug
output from the version with -funroll-loops to the one without, to see
whether we're making the same sequence of VirtualAlloc calls? If they're
the same, maybe it's not the loop that's broken, but the address space
layout.
