Yeah. Test cases that actually "fail" are incredibly tough
to find. I'm pretty sure that the original code example
(that SIGSEGV-ed in my compiler wouldn't fail in any other
compiler.
But this is probably a lurking problem for anybody
that has SDB debugging support.
Thanks for the pointer to how dbx support handles this.
I like it much better than the solution I implemented of passing
an extra pointer around.
