Franz is quite right it is.
=====
It is a particularly nasty bug - because it is one of those where something
drops bombs in memory.
====
The code generated by gcc 2.95.3-t2 is fine - from asm through to vmlinux.
=====
However, every now and then - at run time - something trashes the location
which throws up the Illegal Instruction.
as I said - nasty - it could be *anything* and I'm not really sure how/where
to start looking...
much though I hate to admit it (being a firm believer in low-tech printk
debugging) - this is one of those cases where an ICE would really triumph...
ciao,
Iain.
