Hi g sobers,

f is a dangling pointer.
f1 just happens to point to the recently closed buffer that f used to point
to.
I would not rely on that behavior. Not only is it non-portable, it may not
work that way reliably even on the same platform.
It's a bug in the code. Not in GCC, nor on Cygwin.
HTH,
