Compiling the file snow.c from the ffmpeg project (http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net), or a Delta-reduced pre-processed version of it (which I'll attach) causes either a segmentation fault or out of memory condition.  This was originally noticed by Eric Moon with arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.3; on his Ubuntu 5.04 machine, he gets a segmentation fault.  On my Ubuntu machine, that compiler instead runs out of memory, killing my window manager, so I was unable to get much information about 3.4.1.  The gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu build behaves similarly; session below.
    The CodeSourcery build of 3.4.3, however, does give me a a useful error message:

../cpp/bugfiles/GCC_bugfiles/noerror/warn/110517_snow_min.i: In function `ff_spatial_idwt_init':
../cpp/bugfiles/GCC_bugfiles/noerror/warn/110517_snow_min.i:406: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault

    Does not happen with native x86 versions 3.4.3 with checking enabled, 4.0.1 with checking = all, 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2), or Macintosh 4.0.0 (Apple build 4061).
    This sounds like bug 19592, but that was reported against native 4.0.0, and was supposedly irreproducible.
    Here's the gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu session:
