I did and Irix 6.5 w g++ 2.95.3 gives the same result. This is fixed (assuming it's a bug -- see above) in 3.0 g++ 2.95 has a number of bugs that have been fixed in version 3 and above. I don't imagine they'll be fixed. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
