While building TeX on a Convex with gcc 2.3.3, I got the dreaded message from Program cc1 about fatal signal 6. It occurred repeatably, while compiling gftopk, pktogf, vptovf, and dvicopy. In various newsgroups, I've seen references to this same dire failure while compiling various software with gcc 2.3.3, on Suns, HP systems and PCs running 386bsd. I suspect there may be a compiler bug, but it's a bit over my head. >From one of the postings, it would appear to come from parse.c. However, I can't get through the opacities of that code. Since this has probably been known for some weeks, I wonder if it's been fixed in 2.4.1. However, I haven't seen any reference to it in this newsgroup. I'd appreciate email, because my eyes sometimes glaze over when I'm doing gnu.gcc.bug! -- Chuck Bacon - crtb@helix.nih.gov ( alas, not my 3b1 )-: ABHOR SECRECY - DEFEND PRIVACY
