Programme spontaneously terminates during execution. Cause seems to be related
to presence in the code of statements of the form

int b,c;

Instance d,e;

..some statements involving d,e <<----spontaneously terminates here 

..lots of code

Instance & a ( b > c ? d : e); <<-----successfully executes without these lines

Programme


Source is v long and too complicated to post, I am just sending this on the
possibility that this is a reported bug and that there is a workaround.
Compiling with -Wall reveals nothing.

I tried this again on another linux machine running older gcc (3.2.2), and the
programme executed correctly. At optimization level -O3 only, however, the
programme did not execute correctly and the same symptom described above was
observed.
