I would have to concur with Keith here, I cannot reproduce this either,
possibly compiler related, possibly something about peoples setups.
My compiler:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.2 2.96-108.7.2)
GNU ld version 2.11.93.0.2 20020207
