>Description:
When compiling C++ programs heavily using templates with EGCS-1.1.2
the compilation is aborted with a message stating that the assembler 
terminated with signal 11.
The same problem should happen when compiling to a.out on FreeBSD 3.2.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile kdelibs11 from the ports collection using egcs-1.1.2.
the problem occurs at kab/addressbook.cc and on kab/keyvaluemap.cc.
>Fix:
Here is a patch to the assembler:
