Girish started this thread about problems he is seeing with GCC 3.4.3 (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-07/msg00866.html). Others of us chimed in about similar issues with later versions. Suggestions for avoiding the problems have been about those later versions, not the version he is using. Janis
