I used GCC 2.0 to recompile some of my existing code, and seem to find
the following "bugs":

(1) Redefining/Overloading the global ::operator new(size_t) doesn't work?
    (Interestingly, GCC 2.0 allows me to get around this by redefining 
     the internal function ::__builtin_new(size_t))

(2) Initialization of global static objects with constructors doesn't seem
    to call their corresponding constructors, eg:

    class AtomTable
    {
	....
        int table_size;

      public:
 	AtomTable(int init_size);
    };

    AtomTable::AtomTable(int init_size) 
    {
	...
	table_size = init_size;
    }

    AtomTable table(1024);

    main()
    {
	...
        table.insert(word);
    }

    Among other things, I got an arithmetic exception in calling insert 
    because of a division by zero in my internal hash function, which depends 
    on having table_size initialized correctly. Checking with a debugger
    reveals that the constructor never gets called.
