[Cin] cin freeze with group move?

[Phyllis Smith]

Does not fail on Fedora.
With Debian 9.1 32-bit, the freeze happens on the first move.  With the
"volatile" patch in, it works.  I had an old AMD Slackware O/S and wanted
to try it there also, but it had an error on the build so decided not to
pursue it there.  Never heard of the "volatile" keyword C++ before but when
I looked it up, I found this and am still laughing:
