No more registers than the Ubuntu buildbot, and possibly fewer if that's not an EM64T^WIntel64-capable Pentium 4 (or if it is but you're not building it 64-bit). It might be that the older compiler's dataflow analysis isn't as sophisticated.

Would checking in a change to make next_tvb be volatile (or even static, as I had it) be acceptable?

If volatile fixes the problem, that's the right fix; go ahead and check that in.
