It is just you, of course, being that cohort I can't comment for anyone else ;) Without the code being released by your company via a written release I can't look at it. The best example is, of course, what you sent me. However, without a release from your company no one at Red Hat can look at it. If you can perhaps come up with a contrived example that evokes the same behavior it would be wonderful. As far as it being too big, I work on the compiler most of the time - testcases are usually small :) -eric -- I will not grease the monkey bars
