It often does, but I agree it takes a lot of time to reduce a testcase
to such a small program.  Nevertheless, I didn't ask you to post a
10-lines program, I just asked for the preprocessed sources.  You may
have to compress them to get them below the 100Kb limit of the mailing
list, but it's often the case that, if I download the source program
and try to build it myself, the same problem won't show up, because I
may have a slightly different version of operating system, system
header files, any other libraries the program may depend upon, etc,
etc.  Is it so hard for you to follow the simple procedure explained
in the URL you were pointed to?
