Compiling a program today, I get this error message [typos mine]:

analysis.c: In function `indexof':
analysis.c:404: fp_offset (8) or end_offset (-4) is less than zero.

Is this a compiler bugcheck?  If not, what is it trying to tell me
about my program?

This is gcc 2.3.3 on a Decstation 5000 running Ultrix4.3.

Thanks,
