    I observed the same results on a SUN4 using g++-1.35.1-. The problem
    seems to be with the statement "delete[100] res; " If this statement
    is replaced by "delete res;" all is well under g++.
 
    This example is quite like the one on page 92 of Bjarne's book. Since you
    are not deleting a vector of class objects [see section 5.5.5] the book
    suggests "... the vector size provided by the user is ignored ..."
    This seems to be the case under Cfront1.2 where your program runs
    with or without [100] appended to delete [albeit slower by a factor
    of two ].
