 By the way, only a couple of days later, using the Borland C++
 compiler to try to compile the same thing, my computer self-immolated.
 
 I got a new CPU, motherboard, case, etc., and I am having much better
 success compiling now.
 
 Thanks again for your help.

 You're welcome.

 Downloaded the .i, and compiled it using simply g++ -c. I tried with both
 3.2 (exactly your release) and 3.2.2 (for mingw) and they both work. I
 simply cannot reproduce your bug. Can you doublecheck that the .i you sent
 can ICE the compiler simply with "g++ -c filename.i" ?

 I use both Windows 2000 and XP with no stability problems at all. I agree
 that stability is fuzzy under 9x.

 Not really. Maybe you can try downloading latest mingw and compiling the .i
 with it, to see if it still ICE your compiler. Wolfgang, I assume you cannot
 reproduce the bug as well on your system?
