Matt is indeed right on the problem.  This may be the exact thing 
that happened.  But what I am actually concern about is whether
there is a such a bug in gcc in general.  I read about this in 
linux newsgroup but nobody address it anymore.

I read this news just when I was having that problem so I carelessly
assume it is device problem but not user's problem ( oops! )

Thanks anyway.  So, anyone know about that may be gcc problem?
