gcc-2.2.2 crash -- int ternary operator indexing character array
#1007

	I previously reported this as a general bug in gcc-2.2.2 that
causes a fatal signal 11 internal error in gcc-2.2.2 with an extensive code
fragment.  I have tracked the problem further to a specific type of
expression -- a ternary operator testing an integer variable with the same
variable also used as the resulting index into a character array.  The
following code fragment will crash gcc-2.2.2 with a fatal signal 11
internal error on the following types of machines:

	Digital DECstations running Ultrix 4.2A
	IBM Risc System/6000s running AIX 3.1 and 3.2.
	Sun Sparcstations running SunOS 4.1.2


int main()
{
    unsigned char this[64];
    unsigned char other;
    unsigned int index;

    other = this[index < 64 ? index : 0];

    exit(0);
}


If either use of index is changed to another variable, the program will
compile without incident.  Also, if index is changed to a character type,
the program will compile.
	Appended is a verbose compilation for an AIX system.  I would
appreciate a patch for gcc to fix this problem.

				Thanks, David
