I said it was buggy.  Do you mean to imply that gcc-3.2 doesn't have a
single bug in it?

Admittedly I should have said "unmaintained" though -- point being that
the bugs in it wouldn't be getting fixed by gcc developers who would
rather fix them in 3.3...

I fail to see why assuming that a software project the size of the gcc
compiler has a few bugs is "FUD"...
