You must be using the new gcc (2.2.2d).  That's the problem, and H. J.
has a patch out for that.  Please try the public release of gcc, instead
of the alpha versions.

If you are using a different version of gcc than 2.2.2 from the mcc-interim
release, please make sure the problem is not in the compiler before posting.
