RE: issue with gcc version 3.0 20010418 (prerelease) on x86/redhat 6. 2 w/ openssl 0.9.6a

["Neulinger, Nathan" <nneul at umr dot edu>]

I did a couple more tests...

The problem goes away when I build pem_lib.c with -O instead of the default
-O3? -O2 also fails.

I'm about to go home, so can't really do anything more with this at the
moment, but would at least like to know if anyone else can reproduce the
symptom.
