Comment 1 Giampiero Salvi 2002-11-20 08:57:17 UTC

It seems that the behaviour I got was due to temporal instability of the 
system. I tried to compile a "Hello world!" c program and I got the same 
result. When I rebooted the machine the problem was fixed.

I wander if the instability could have been caused by running the Prova.c 
program: in the beginning I could compile it an run it. After several small 
modifications (I recompiled it maybe 10-20 times) I started to get that 
problem.

Hope this helps. Giampiero

Then definitely it has nothing to do with gcc compiler.
It can be either most probably either hardware fault or kernel fault.
