Major compiler mistake?

Could some SDK developer verify, that the compiler is doing something very wrong in the kernel below.

I have mentioned earlier (in the "conditional operator behaviour on vector operand" topic but have not gotten an answer) that nested for cycles must have hardcoded lengths, otherwise the program won't compile. I have the same solution in this code, but that is not the problem.

For some strange reason, the comparison of random numbers to a preset constant give the same results all the time, although I have verified on host that random[0] is a nicely changing, good random vector all the time.

The comparison inside the loops is at the end of the code and the funcitonally same PRNG is at the beginning.

I have indicated in comments what line results correct behaviour and what line results in disastrous.

This is the first two integers of the output bitwise both right and wrong on different Multiprocessors:

 

Correct output:

Could someone verify that it's not my mistake it's working like this?

Meteorhead,

Its difficult to identify the problem just by going through the kernel code, in case of big kernels. It will be easy to reproduce and track down the problem if you provide a compilable test-case.
