matching on &'static str triggers "assertion failed"

[pfalabella]

I was trying to get a hang of how pattern matching works with constants and I may have hit a bug.

Rust nighlty on windows: rustc.exe 0.9-pre (b5b570b 2013-12-29
18:46:57 -0800)
host: i686-pc-mingw32

static TEST: &'static str = &"paolo";
let myVar = "paolo";

let rt = match myVar {  
    TEST => "it's me",
    _ => "not me"
};

println(rt);

I get
$ rustc test.rs
Assertion failed: (i >= FTy->getNumParams() || FTy->getParamType(i) == Args[i]-> getType()) && "Calling a function with a bad signature!", file d:/Heather/Contrib/P/rust/src/llvm/lib/IR/Instructions.cpp, line 281

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Thanks for the report; however, this appears to be a dupe of #8315, so I'm closing in favour of that one.
