I'm not sure there is anything we can do about it, though, except try to isolate the bug into a smaller piece of code and pass it onto the GCC group. Judging by the previously reported error it may be possible to work around the problem by volatilizing some of the variables in the procedure the compiler is blowing up in. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
