    all this talk about sun's compiler loosing on shifts is 
    a good argument for "gcc" -- it does it right.
    Amazing - the difference between two compilers  :-(

I'm not sure what you're basing your praise of gcc on.  Here at Franz, we
use an X11 server compiled with gcc.  Before I applied Richard's fix,
if you opaque moved a window around the screen eventually it would be
competely trashed.  Now it works great!
