I occasionally test the snapshots with our industrial simulation
code (about 1M lines of Fortran/C). If the executable doesn't work,
i usually give up and hope for the next less buggy snapshot,
because it's very time consuming to search for compiler bugs
with this code - it's hard enough to find my bugs inside it.

Since there seems to be a bit of settling down phase in the
development of snapshots, i tried to track this bug down.
So this particular bug was reported only recently.

With friendly regards,
Martin.
