Actually, I fell prey to using the wrong gcc options. I included a
"-fpcc-struct-return", and all worked fine. Thanks for the reply,
though, I hadn't noticed the note in the README file (I know, I know...)

For those that are interested... there is a *very noticeable* improvement
in speed after having compiled with gcc. You can even see what you're doing
if you use the right options :-)

Thanks for the help...
