Well, I don't know how libgc works. If it overrides new+delete, is is
probable that the problem comes from there. Otherwise I don't know. I'll
have a look at generated assembly code to find out.

$ ll /usr/bin/g++
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 sep 11 21:47 /usr/bin/g++ ->
g++-2.95
Package g++ in woody does not provide the compiler itself.

As noted above, an installed header file requires one that is provided by
libgc*-dev.

Yes, I'll contact them. Thanks for the hint.
