Thanks Ian.
Would it be poor-form to submit a bug without first testing on the latest
version of the compiler? (I'm just running whatever version Ubuntu doles out
via the management system: 4.3.4)
Yeah, I noticed that my lines got joined. It looked good in my yahoo mailer
text box before I hit send. Most annoying. I'm guessing it had something to
do with the fact that it was cut-n-paste from a web page generated by a
unix-based web server and into a windows-based web-mailer. I'll blame it on
yahoo.
Thanks again,
Matt Busche

In fact, gcc@gcc.gnu.org is the wrong mailing list. The right mailing
list would be gcc-h...@gcc.gnu.org. Please take any followups there.
Thanks.

I can't figure out your line breaks there--all the code is on a single
line. That said, it sounds like this is a small bug somewhere, and I
would guess it is somewhere in GCC. Please report it following the
instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ . Thanks.
