Description of problem:
Almost all the code I could successfully compile using gcc3/libstdc++3
segfault now. This happened after I installed the zlib-related updates:

[~][3131] >rpm -q zlib zlib-devel gcc3 gcc3-c++ libstdc++3 libstdc++3 binutils
zlib-1.1.3-25.7
zlib-devel-1.1.3-25.7
gcc3-3.0.4-1
gcc3-c++-3.0.4-1
libstdc++3-3.0.4-1
libstdc++3-3.0.4-1
binutils-2.11.90.0.8-12

In each case, the backtrace is very similar and seems to be a libc++3-related
problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I am trying to find a small piece of code that demonstrates the problem. I
haven't yet been able to isolate where it segfaults. The segfault is very
immediate, i.e. trying to write something to stdout
and flushing it does not work even though I put the statement right after main():
int main() { std::cout << "Cannot even see this before segfault!\n" <<
std::flush; ... }

I hope the backtrace will help you. It is weird because the code has nothing to
do with wide characters. The numerical codes that I unfortunately cannot post
here were compiled with "g++3 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fstrict-aliasing" and
all produce similar backtraces.

Thanks.
