This is a known problem with gcc-2.95. We came across it back in September.

It was noticed in the nightly builds:

And then we chased it up:

Don, thanks for the pointer, I'd completely forgotten about that.

I think I'll be able to install a workaround for 6.4 based on the gcc version. I need it at least because FreeBSD 4.x still uses gcc 2.95, and AFAIK quite a few folks are still using that platform.

I've put in a workaround for this problem, which will show up in tonight's STABLE snapshot. It works for me on FreeBSD 4.11 with gcc 2.95.4. Cheers, Simon
