>Description:
 This example is intended to show a bug in Gcc for solaris.
I'm not good at explaining exactly what happens since I'm
poor with proper programming terms. I'm not sure if it's a 
casting problem, maping problem or a delcaration issue. 
All I know is that the INCREMENTED_POINTER version of this
application crashes on my Ultra 1 and Ultra 2 Solaris Boxes.
   
  I've tried this with GCC 2.95.3 and Sun Workshop 5.0. 
Both on Solaris 7 systems with all the latest patches
from Sun.
   
  I do know that the code does seem to work on linux. But,
I have not tried it else where.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile the above application and simply let it run.  It should crash with a bus error on a Solaris box with 2.95.3.  At least it does for me. If you want the original source, let me know.
