gcc gives an internal error when compiling a source
file which contains _lots_ of stars '*' (pointer of pointer
of pointer etc.)  The source file looks admitedly silly but
it should not cause gcc to segfault.

This bug was filed in Ubuntu bug database:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.1/+bug/172326

Steps to reproduce bug:

1/ download test-case-crash-gcc.c (stand alone, no #include files)

   $ wget http://dominique.pelle.free.fr/test-case-crash-gcc.c

2/ compile it and observe an internal error, segfault:

   $ gcc test-case-crash-gcc.c 
   gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program cc1)

I could reproduce this bug with 2 versions of gcc
that I have on my Ubunto laptop: gcc-4.1.3 and gcc-4.2.1:
