   "Broken for loop optimization" is about what I was thinking at the time.   
   Forcing the variable to be logged (the "observer effect") made some loop   
   optimization impossible since the value had to be known and used then and   
   there.   
      
   The latter of my two commits introduced the log statement and I vaguely recall   
   this being the "real" fix, nothing to do with making the calculation inside   
   the square brackets, so I'm not surprised. In your case, I guess that   
   explicitly setting FFrameMaskIndex to 0 is the secret sauce, since zero is   
   zero and it doesn't need to be lazy about doing the math.   
      
   Of course, goodness knows what's going on in the guts of ye olden SpiderMonkey   
   on ARM. I'd love to have a better understanding of this so I can avoid   
   introducing similar problems in the future, but it's also annoying that   
   perfectly reasonable code just shits the bed unexpectedly.
