Interesting thing, since with gcc 2.95 I've never had got such a problem.
With 3.0.1: yes. I've sent even bug reports to the gcc team ...

As you can see, this is a gcc bug! So we can't do anything.
Please send a bugreport to the gcc team, and not for us.

Yes. gcc.

PS: I did not understand why users drop us with problems like this.
Maybe you can send bugreports on your wife or something next time :)
