In large loops, "le" and "ge" operators eventually start to give False on equality.

MWE​:
  > say ("a" xx 1000).map(+("a" le *)).index(0)
  414

Expected output​:
  Nil

Compiler version (perl6 -v)​:
  This is Rakudo version 2015.12-212-g3259ba3 built on MoarVM version 2015.12-29-g8079ca5
  implementing Perl 6.c.

This means that when I compare "a" le "a" over and over again, it's true the first 414 times I do it, and then false. This happens only on equality, other cases seem to work OK.

It can be worked around by setting the MVM_JIT_DISABLE environment variable to 1.

Regards,
  D.

Fixed the JIT compiler bug, and added test coverage in S03-operators/relational.t.
