Tweak a conditional expression in pearl.c to work around a display bug
in the Java build - which turns out to be a JVM bug in OpenJDK 6,
causing the NestedVM rendition of the expression (i==1?3:4) to be
mis-JITed. OpenJDK 7 appears not to do that any more, but this
equivalent (for these purposes) rephrasing should perturb the code
just enough to dodge the problem.
