Re: What am I doint wrong here?!?!

[Chris Croswhite <ccroswhite at get2chip dot com>]

ummm... I tried it with the int/&int and it works for -O2, however, when
using the other way, I have compiled this with -g and no problems, as
soon as I use -O(1,2,3) I run into the core dump, why do I get a core
dumb than and not with -g?

TIA,
Chris
