See for example http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/3248 . (Reams
of output from TextPrinter. Optimisation on, continuations not
involved.)

I was assuming that hudson would run all tests with -optimize and I'm surprised to learn it doesn't.

The crashes in test.continuations.suite seem to be due to an optimizer bug:

https://lampsvn.epfl.ch/trac/scala/ticket/3252

I'll try to come up with workaround though.
