bug in gcc 2.7.2 for HP-UX-9 (HP 9000)

Why does the following program not do what I expect on HP-UX-9
when compiled with gcc 2.7.2 ? It works fine with gcc on other
machines, and also with cc on the same machine.

It should output:
	f1(1.0) = 1.000000
	f2(1.0) = 1.000000

But I get:
	f1(1.0) = 1.000000
	f2(1.0) = 0.000000

The effect only happens when 3 conditions occur together.

The function
- is static
- is called through a function pointer
- has at least a "double" in the argument list

Please, respond by Email, because I normally do not read this
newsgroup.

=================================================================
#include <stdio.h>

static double f1(double value)
{
    return value;
}

double (*f2)(double) = f1;

void main(void)
{
    printf("f1(1.0) = %f\n",f1(1.0));
    printf("f2(1.0) = %f\n",f2(1.0));
}
