This turns out to be PR 12245, which previously didn't have a test case attached to it. This test case works fine with 2.95.3. Looking into the patches I came across this note from you from four years ago: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-10/msg00937.html So, I'm reminding you about your four-year-old promise to address this problem if it arose.
