Reading this inspired us to try compiling the 'menu' debian package with g++-3.3. Historically this package has been very problematic on hppa because of its use of exceptions. It's been broken for a very long time (couple years?).... but with latest g++-3.3 it actually compiles and works!! Dave, many many thanks again for all your work on gcc. randolph -- Randolph Chung Debian GNU/Linux Developer, hppa/ia64 ports http://www.tausq.org/
