I would've expected at least an example assembly code reproducing the bug? How was it not discovered before, but only with the OCaml compiler? They say "unexpected behavior", does this mean that code compiled with this can give incorrect results? Can this have any security implication? How much code was compiled with similar patterns? Can the problem reproduced with any JIT compiler? We need to know what can cause this, maybe compiled and working code already contains such patterns waiting to be abused...
