I believe this is to do with the code and not a bug. The code you gave
segfault'ed and dumped the core, on a machine close to your arc (1.3.12-4).
Im not a c programmer, yet ;), but i think its to do with declaration...This
works:
int
main()
{
/* declare the variable so main() can see it */
int end;
/* do what you please with end */
int end = 0;
}
