gcc 3.3.1 problem

[Gerry Reno]

  I'm having a problem with gcc 3.3.1.  Here is a sample program that
demos the problem:

// test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

typedef struct abc {
  HANDLE h1;
  HANDLE h2;
} XYZ;

XYZ * somefunc () {
  XYZ xyz;
  XYZ *ptr = &xyz;

  ptr->h1 = (HANDLE) 99;
  ptr->h2 = (HANDLE) 88;

printf("somefunc: ptr->h1 = %d\n",ptr->h1);
printf("somefunc: ptr->h2 = %d\n",ptr->h2);

  return (ptr);
}

int main(void) {
  XYZ *ptr2;

  ptr2 = somefunc ();
printf("main: ptr2->h1 = %d\n",ptr2->h1);
printf("main: ptr2->h2 = %d\n",ptr2->h2);

}
------------------------------

-- results --
somefunc: ptr->h1 = 99
somefunc: ptr->h2 = 88
main: ptr2->h1 = 99
main: ptr2->h2 = 99


  And sometimes it will give me really large values for main: ptr2-h2
like 4043574.

----------------------
Env:
Cygwin 1.5.5
gcc 3.3.1
