Actually, getting a notion of your sourcebase and what's actually running sounds like a great idea. Any chance you could rattle off what patches you've got and/or name the tree, and maybe send me a .config? Also, any chance you could tell me a little about the hardware? I'm not going to tell you what to run or not to run, I just want to know where to start looking. On Mon, May 20, 2002 at 06:07:12PM -0500, Todd R.

I don't know of any particular issues with gcc 2.95.3, but I'll compare the disassemblies you sent me just in case. Your help in tracking this down has been immense, I hope you have the patience to bear with me as I try to fix this for you. Thanks, Bill
