 I can't see how it's anything unique I've done, since gcc was built from 
 unmodified CVS sources for both my 3.2 and 3.4 versions.  Is it possible the 
 problem comes from binutils (I'm using 2.13.90 20021125 for gcc 3.4) or libc 
 (I have 2.2.5)?
 
 When I compile with gcc 3.2, I get expected behaviour:
 
 stephen_[153]> g++ -v
 Reading specs from /opt/gnu/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs
 Configured with: ../combined/configure --enable-languages=c++ 
 --prefix=/opt/gnu --enable-threads
 Thread model: posix
 gcc version 3.2 20020326 (experimental)
 stephen_[154]> g++ -o dc dc.cpp
 stephen_[155]> ./dc
 Abort

 When I compile with yesterday's main trunk CVS (actually, it goes back a ways 
 before yesterday), I get the following unexpected behaviour.
