Hey... lets move back to gcc 2.7.3
You know that we are not talking about the gcd. We are talking about a sensible subset. And that, of course, is subjective.

And you've seen some of the consequences already. What does it take to convince you? > Both of these examples is something that I dismiss outright as invalid > arguements. Dismissing something "outright" does not help solving problems. Andre' PS: See you in Porto.
