I couldn't bet the farm on it. But every time I see someone using the stock
RedHat egcs compiler I cringe. egcs-2.91.66 from Redhat has caused more
problems due to an optimizer bug. There are several news groups where it is
the root cause of problems in several apps. Upgrade your compiler (and
rebuild your kernel) and that very well may eliminate your problems.
