	Gcc 1.36 is your problem. I built the release (no fix-1) under
gcc 1.36 and got the exact behavior you describe. A rebuild with Sun
0S 4.0.3 cc -O2 has yet to give me any problems, however.

	Suggestion - wait for gcc 1.37, or back out your version of
gcc to 1.35. Something is tripping one of the few remaining bugs in
there somewhere.
