Are you sure the bug is in gcc 2.1, and not in groff for incorrectly using
"delete ptrToArray" where the ARM requires "delete [] ptrToArray" ?  It
appears that all your patch does is restore backward bug-compatibility.

To be fair, this one can't be blamed on you as the language has changed;
"delete []" didn't exist in the original language.
