Whatever was in the repository on February 17th. I was cvsup'ing and building daily during that time period and I know that's the day he did the tests. > 2) Was it before or after Jeremy Allison's and my patches were > committed?

I know he didn't use that version of g++ since I don't have it on my system. I also can't answer your last question, but with your permission I'll forward your post to him and ask if he's interested in working on this again. I can't discuss details of a client's project obviously, but I will say that I'm very interested in keeping him happy and it would be good for freebsd too, so I'm willing to do some legwork on this if there's hope of real progress.
