Can you please rerun the above command with -save-temps -v options
and put morkTable.ii it creates here as an attachement?
Thanks.

OK.  Here is the output. I think I've managed to attached the morkTable.ii file
too a moment ago ... thank you!

Thanks, apparently my bug introduced fairly recently (someone fixed
it already in CVS trunk so I'll just include that fix in gcc-c++-2.96-69.
Thanks for the report.

Magic. Thank you. I assume bugzilla will let me know when the bug status
changes.

A couple of semi-related questions if you don't mind:

Your reply seems to indicate that there should be a gcc-c++-2.96-68 somewhere
but
ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ only has -65. Am I looking in
the
right spot or is the internal rawhide tree only synced to the ftp site every so
often?

Also, Joe Buck's comments on linuxtoday:
http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-12-14-002-21-NW-RH-SW-0005
suggest that 2.96 does not produce optimal code for some 'inner loops'. Is that
fixed in
the rawhide package/CVS too? I'm hoping it will speed up mozilla on my machine
;)

Thank you!

Yep, rawhide is not cut daily.
To answer the other question, yes, 2.96-nn up to 67 had optimization issues
Joe Buck is talking about, in 2.96-68 there are three small patches which
lower Stepanov abstraction penalty from 3.88 to 1.41 or less.

Thank you for the answers to my other questions.

I've just installed all the 2.96-69 which has appeared in updates
directory and recompiled the latest mozilla CVS tree. Thank you!

I've changed the resolution to 'ERRATA' btw. given
that the package is in the 7.0 updates dir. Please
change it if I've flagged it incorrectly.

Thank you.
